💰 USD 49,000 (Standard) to 74,500+ (Pro/Customized variants)
The LYNX M20 by Deep Robotics is a high-performance wheeled-legged quadruped robot designed for extreme industrial and field operations. It combines the speed and efficiency of wheels on flat terrain with the agility of legs for navigating complex obstacles, featuring hyper-flexible joints and seamless mode switching. Key capabilities include a 15 kg payload capacity (up to 50 kg max load), speeds up to 5 m/s (lab-tested, 2 m/s operational), 45° slope climbing, 25 cm continuous stair height, and 80 cm single-step obstacle clearance. Equipped with dual 96-line LiDAR for 360° omnidirectional obstacle avoidance and point-cloud mapping, dual wide-angle cameras, and dual octa-core processors (16 GB RAM + 128 GB storage), it supports advanced autonomy, RF image transmission, and OTA updates. With IP66 protection and -20°C to 55°C operation, it targets inspection, security, energy, defense, and construction markets in rugged environments.
