Deep Robotics has announced the launch of the DR02, a humanoid robot designed for industrial and outdoor applications. According to the company, the DR02 is the first full-size humanoid robot to receive an IP66 rating, providing protection against dust and high-pressure water exposure. The DR02 measures approximately 175 centimeters in height and weighs around 65 kilograms. It is intended to operate in a temperature range between –20 °C and 55 °C and is equipped with a modular design that allows quick replacement of limbs and components. Deep Robotics states that this feature reduces maintenance time and supports continuous operation.
The robot has a standard walking speed of 1.5 meters per second and can reportedly reach up to 4.0 meters per second in short bursts. It can handle slopes up to 20 degrees and lift objects of up to 10 kilograms per arm. For perception and navigation, the DR02 integrates multiple sensors, including LiDAR, depth cameras, and wide-angle cameras. Its onboard computing platform offers 275 TOPS (trillion operations per second) of processing capacity, supporting real-time decision-making and motion control.
Use cases and target markets
Deep Robotics positions the DR02 as a robot suitable for inspection, security, logistics, and industrial operations in environments where traditional humanoid robots are limited by weather or dust exposure. The company emphasizes that the design is aimed at “all-weather, all-scenario” use, enabling deployment in both indoor and outdoor settings. The company’s existing product line includes quadruped robots used for inspection and monitoring tasks. With the DR02, Deep Robotics expands its focus to bipedal systems capable of interacting with human-designed environments such as stairs, corridors, and control panels.
Deep Robotics has not yet disclosed details on commercial availability, pricing, or production volume for the DR02. Demonstrations are expected to continue throughout 2025, including appearances at robotics and industrial technology events in China and abroad.
