The IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2025) — recognized alongside ICRA as one of the two “twin pillars” of global robotics — opened this October in Hangzhou under the theme “Frontiers of Human–Robot Collaboration.”
The event brought together over 7,000 leading experts, scholars, and industry representatives from around the world, fostering deep integration between research, academia, and industry. Among the top highlights of the exhibition was the strong presence of DEEP Robotics, China’s leading embodied intelligence company, whose cutting-edge quadruped platforms and open innovation ecosystem drew significant international attention.
Comprehensive Product Line Showcases Technical Excellence
At the core exhibition area, DEEP Robotics built an interactive Embodied Intelligence Experience Zone, combining live demonstrations and static displays to showcase China’s most advanced quadruped robotics technologies in action.
The company’s full product lineup was on display:
- Lynx M20 (Wheel-Legged Robot): A hybrid wheel–leg design offering both high-speed mobility and superior obstacle-crossing capabilities. The M20 is equipped with open SDKs, providing developers and researchers a versatile platform for algorithm and application testing.
- Jueying X30 (Quadruped Robot): The company’s flagship industrial-grade robot, proven across multiple field deployments in power inspection, emergency response, and industrial automation. Known for its stability and terrain adaptability, it exemplifies the reliability of DEEP Robotics’ engineering.
- Lite3 (Research Quadruped Robot): A compact, high-performance, and cost-effective robot tailored for education and research. Featuring ROS2 compatibility, NVIDIA Jetson computing, and support for reinforcement learning environments, it quickly became one of the most popular exhibits among global developers and students.
Through its product matrix and scenario-based demonstrations, DEEP Robotics presented a clear roadmap from research and education to full-scale industrial applications, highlighting its strength across the entire robotics value chain.
Technical Tour: International Experts Visit DEEP Robotics Headquarters
As one of the official “Technical Tour” destinations selected by the IROS 2025 organizing committee, DEEP Robotics welcomed over 100 international researchers and engineers from top universities and institutes worldwide to its Hangzhou headquarters.
During the visit, participants explored the company’s R&D facilities and experienced first-hand its core capabilities in advanced motion control, intelligent perception, and autonomous navigation. The visit offered a comprehensive overview of DEEP Robotics’ end-to-end innovation pipeline — from algorithm development and component engineering to real-world deployment.
This tour further reinforced DEEP Robotics’ reputation as a bridge between academia and industry, demonstrating how the company is driving practical innovation in embodied intelligence through open collaboration.
DEEP Talk: Founders Engage Global Scholars and Developers
During the IROS conference, DEEP Robotics hosted its in-person innovation forum, “DEEP Talk,” attracting over 200 young scholars, developers, and robotics enthusiasts from around the world.
The company’s Founder & CEO, Dr. Qiu Guo Zhu, and Co-Founder & CTO, Dr. Chao Li, shared insights on the evolution of embodied intelligence, the future of legged robotics, and their entrepreneurial journey in building one of China’s most advanced robotics enterprises.
A key highlight was the announcement of the “University Collaboration Program,” which includes partnerships with UC Berkeley, Zhejiang University, and more than 10 global universities. Through joint research projects, talent exchange, open-source platforms, and robotics competitions, DEEP Robotics aims to empower students and researchers to accelerate robotics innovation and practical transformation.
