DEEP Robotics

Hangzhou robotics maker founded in 2017 by Zhu Qiuguo, with an established quadruped business and a much smaller humanoid line. DR01 is an early research platform; DR02 Standard and Pro add distinct arm, sensor and software configurations with claimed outdoor protection. Current Chinese specifications differ from the dated English brochure. The company is applying to Shanghai’s STAR Market and reports six DR-series sales in H 1 2026. Rainy street tests and the named Hangxing II marathon configuration provide bounded application evidence; they do not establish general factory uptime. Public ROS2 SDKs and simulators improve technical review, but conformity, exact hardware and European support still require verification.

Commercial Context

Company portfolio exports and overseas quadruped projects do not prove DR-series deliveries or local humanoid repair readiness. Robots Europa offers an EU quote route; The Robot Group describes conditional UK assessment/supply. No manufacturer-verified EU humanoid service centre, parts stock, repair authorisation or response SLA inspected.

Product Focus

Industrial quadrupeds and wheeled quadrupeds, DR01 humanoid research platform, DR02 Standard and Pro industrial humanoids, Hangxing II traffic application configuration, Proprietary joints and embodied navigation research

Export Markets

China, Singapore, Germany, Switzerland, United States, Turkey, Korea and Japan named for the company portfolio in its prospectus, Website: 46 overseas countries/regions; September filing: more than 50; scope/date difference unresolved

EU Support and Service

EU officesNo exact manufacturer EU humanoid office or repair centre verified
Service regionsChina service portal, International sales inquiry; model/country coverage by contract
DistributorsRobots Europa: DR02 quotation for EU/DACH/Switzerland; exact authorisation and stock unverified, The Robot Group: UK assessment; supply subject to OEM configuration and lead-time confirmation, Robot Distribution: current DEEP catalogue is quadrupeds/accessories; do not assume its European service covers humanoids
IntegratorsNo named European DR02 integrator with verified scope or acceptance evidence established
Support languagesChinese public service/developer portal, English product, SDK and policy documentation; local-language service commitments unverified
Spare partsModular forearms, arms and legs advertised; no exact EU inventory or replacement-time commitment verified
WarrantyGeneric policy starts coverage on receipt and lists repair/replacement exclusions without an inspected exact DR-series duration. Water damage and unauthorised modifications appear among exclusions. Confirm compatibility with all-weather claims, pack/hand coverage, labour, shipping and regional law in the exact contract.
TrainingNeeds verification

Current service portal lists DR02 and a telephone contact; training plans are marked coming soon. No exact humanoid course or guaranteed trainer availability established. Generic 30-working-day delivery is not a verified current DR02 lead time. No support ticket or contact message submitted. Public DR02 hardware, Pro usage and software-development guides were opened through the public documentation catalogue; they do not establish an exact warranty duration or a delivered safety certification.

Risk and Due Diligence

Risk levelUnknown
CybersecurityOpen BSD-3-Clause SDK2 interfaces are distinct from robot firmware and proprietary models. ROS2/DDS control can actuate hardware from an external host. Exact security hardening, signed updates, patch lifetime and SBOM unverified; separate network/control domains and correct firmware/message versions require engineering review. The Pro usage guide publishes default remote-login/VNC setup. Change defaults, restrict administrative access and verify hardening before integration; no credentials are reproduced here.
Data hostingGeneric policy includes device, usage, location and communications logs and certain partner disclosures. SDK describes local offline AOS/NOS hosts; this does not establish every AI/remote-support feature works without cloud processing or that customer data stays in Europe.
Export controlsNo exact DR02 customs/dual-use classification or import approval inspected. Chinese radio model approvals disclosed for Standard and Pro are not EU conformity or blanket export approval.
Supply chainMaker modular joint/arm/leg architecture may simplify replacement, but regional spare availability and technician training are unverified. Current Chinese dimensions and weights differ from the February datasheet; require a dated BOM.

Issuer reports six DR-series units sold in H 1 2026, one in 2025 and three in 2024. Avoid treating quadruped deployments, company export coverage, planned deliveries or traffic field tests as a mature humanoid factory fleet. No ungrounded numeric readiness score assigned.

Funding and IPO Status

December 9, 2025 maker announcement: completed Series C above CNY 500 million, jointly led by CMB International and ChinaAMC, with China Telecom/China Unicom-related funds and other investors.

Retail Pro interface list and actual enabled ports need confirmation.

  • DR02 hard emergency-stop status interface ↗ DEEP Robotics · Accessed Nov 2, 2026

    Documentation exposes the HES hard-stop state via basic-status telemetry. A status bit is not a measured stopping distance, proof of independent safety integrity or confirmation that every software hold removes motor power.

  • DR02 Pro Pico teleoperation ↗ DEEPRoboticsLab GitHub account · Accessed Nov 2, 2026

    C++17 ROS2 Pico/XRoboToolkit project controls waist and arms with optional supported end effectors and data recording. README identifies BSD-3-Clause; SDK root licence was separately inspected. Its Emergency mode is a SOFTWARE POSE HOLD, not a hardware emergency stop. Keep physical stop access; simulator build must not control hardware.

  • DR02 Pro reference-motion training ↗ DEEPRoboticsLab GitHub account · Accessed Nov 2, 2026

    Current maker repository identifies Pro as the main robot and documents Isaac Lab motion tracking, retargeting and ONNX evaluation. A research pipeline and demonstration do not establish autonomous task reliability or support for every retail hardware revision.

  • DR02 Pro SDK product guide ↗ DEEPRoboticsLab GitHub account · Accessed Nov 2, 2026

    Product guide describes real and simulated workflows, AMP/Mimic inference and RealSense camera access. Physical SDK processes may control hardware from either development or robot hosts. First motion tests require safety suspension, correct Developer Mode and a single joint-command publisher; simulation builds must not control the physical robot.

  • DR02 public developer resource and edition index ↗ DEEP Robotics · Accessed Nov 2, 2026

    Primary documentation links separate Standard and Pro SDK, simulator and URDF entries. Pico teleoperation, motion retargeting and Mimic resources are explicitly Pro-specific. Model identity and package selection matter; this is not a universal DR01 SDK.

  • DR02 ROS2 SDK2 and inspected BSD licence ↗ DEEPRoboticsLab GitHub account · Accessed Nov 2, 2026

    Current native C++ ROS2 repository has dr02_std and dr02_pro packages, motion/state/joint interfaces, battery/fault monitoring and audio examples.

    README identifies the DR02 AMP environment, Isaac Sim 5.1.0, Isaac Lab 2.3.2, Python 3.11 and RSL-RL 5.0.1. ONNX policy export is documented. Training assets and deployment packages are separate; a trained policy is not a validated factory behaviour.

  • Product-specific MuJoCo simulation ↗ DEEPRoboticsLab GitHub account · Accessed Nov 2, 2026

    Repository supports Standard and Pro with ROS2 Humble/Ubuntu 22.04/Python 3.10 or Jazzy/24.04/Python 3.12. Matching drdds versions and ROS domain required. Simulator is separate from SDK and does not reproduce every onboard navigation, audio or peripheral service.

  • Pro simulation control limits and virtual joints ↗ DEEP Robotics · Accessed Nov 2, 2026

    Primary developer page describes a Pro MuJoCo model with 29 actuators and a 31-slot SDK vector whose final two entries are virtual placeholders. Upper mode constrains base/legs in simulation; it is not equivalent to physical whole-body stability. High-level motion and audio/peripheral services are not simulated. This is a software mapping, not proof the physical 31-joint robot has only 29 joints.
