Chinese startup DEEP Robotics is deploying advanced quadruped and wheeled-legged robots to handle fires and hazardous leaks, protecting human rescuers.

Summary

Chinese startup DEEP Robotics is deploying its X30 quadruped and Lynx M20 wheeled-legged robots to enhance emergency response and firefighting capabilities. Designed to enter hazardous areas like fires, chemical leaks, and collapsed structures first, these robots collect real-time data, map interiors, detect toxic gases, and transmit critical information to command teams. The X30 can also be equipped with a water-cannon payload or used to transport equipment, while providing self-organizing mesh networks for communication in dead zones. With robust mobility features suited for stairs and debris, these robotic platforms reduce human risk during high-risk rescue operations.
