Deep Robotics is reshaping intelligent mobility through Arm-powered physical AI robots designed for real-world applications.
Imagine robots traversing rough terrain with animal-like agility, tackling dangerous or repetitive jobs such as inspecting damaged power lines or navigating disaster zones, so humans can stay safe. Deep Robotics’ quadruped robots are already transforming industrial inspections and emergency response, hinting at a future where physical AI humanoid robots become integrated into daily life, boosting safety and efficiency across industries. As these systems advance, their potential to revolutionize workplaces and enhance human life is virtually limitless.
Embodied AI and Quadruped Technology
Founded in 2017, Deep Robotics quickly established itself as a leader in embodied AI and quadruped robotics. Drawing on over 15 years of experience in motion control, the company developed its own full-stack motion system from scratch, enabling highly precise and flexible operation in complex environments.
From industrial inspections to emergency rescue missions and scientific exploration, Deep Robotics’ quadrupeds are actively deployed in challenging conditions throughout China, Southeast Asia, and beyond.
Engineering Smarter Mobility with Arm
At the heart of Deep Robotics’ performance is its advanced motion control system, which synchronizes 12 motors across four legs to mimic the balance, agility, and adaptability of animals. Achieving this dynamic movement requires both mechanical precision and high-performance, compact computing.
Initially built on x86 platforms, the robots faced limitations in energy efficiency, thermal management, and development flexibility. Switching to Arm-powered Rockchip RK3588 SoCs was transformative.
Why Arm Powers AI Robots
Streamlined Software Stack: Arm’s architecture allows a lean Linux-based system ideal for custom motion algorithms and reinforcement learning models.
Energy Efficiency: While previous Intel-based setups consumed ~30W, Arm systems now run on just over 10W, enabling smaller batteries, longer runtimes, and simplified cooling.
Compact Power: A single Arm SoC manages all 12 motors, supporting standing, walking, and running modes while leaving headroom for advanced features.
“The beauty of Arm is its efficiency and simplicity—it runs everything we need without extra complexity,” said Deep Robotics’ Head of Overseas Marketing.
From Quadrupeds to Humanoids
Deep Robotics offers two main quadruped platforms:
Lite 3: Lightweight (5–7 kg payload), ideal for research and light-duty tasks.
X30: Industrial-grade (25 kg payload, 4-hour runtime, IP67-rated), used in power stations, tunnels, and railways.
Looking forward, Deep Robotics is applying its quadruped motion expertise to humanoid robots. The lower body, powered by Arm, retains proven agility and stability, while allowing partners to add custom upper-body tools and applications.
“Every movement is powered by Arm CPUs. Arm remains central as we transition into humanoid robots,” said the Head of Overseas Marketing.
Smarter Inspections Using AI
An example of Deep Robotics’ AI in action is its collaboration with R2C2 for robotic train inspections in Hong Kong. Two quadruped robots patrolled the train using computer vision to detect safety issues, reducing the need for human labor in high-traffic areas.
“Arm’s power efficiency is key. We’re enabling smarter, safer automation where humans can’t easily go,” the marketing head explained.
Arm Beyond Hardware
Arm contributes more than processing power:
Ecosystem Support: Linux compatibility and AI toolchain support speed development and system integration.
Scalability: Arm architecture scales from motion control chips to companion compute units like NVIDIA Jetson for autonomy and perception.
Innovation Enabler: Reduced heat, power, and hardware complexity simplify designing robots for harsh environments.
The Future of Physical AI Robots
Deep Robotics continues to prioritize safety by automating hazardous, repetitive, or remote tasks. As the company expands from quadrupeds to humanoids, Arm remains a vital partner powering every motion.
“With Arm, we gain the performance, efficiency, and flexibility critical for scaling intelligent robotics. And this is only the beginning,” the Head of Overseas Marketing concluded.
