Deep Robotics unveils all-weather humanoid robot DR02
With an IP66 rating, the robot could be equipped to operate in outdoor and factory environments facing elements like rain, humidity and dust.

DEEP Robotics, a Hangzhou, China company known for its quadruped bots, has introduced what it terms the world’s first industrial-grade all-weather humanoid robot, marked by its latest model DR02. The device is engineered for outdoor and factory environments including elements like rain, humidity, and dust.
Its IP66 rating certifies full waterproofing and dust-proofing, while its operational temperature range extends from minus 20 to 55 degrees Celsius — capabilities that could potentially recalibrate expectations for robotics in variable, real-world industrial scenarios, according to the release.
Standing at 175 centimetres, with its arms span matching the average adult male, DR02 is designed to slot seamlessly into spaces and workflows created for humans, addressing compatibility hurdles for tools and human-managed environments. The robot’s mobility algorithms, paired with its hardware, enable it to navigate 20 degree slopes and climb 20 centimetre stairs with stability, reaching walking speeds of 1.5 meters per second — a pace suited for collaborative work — and up to a sprinting maximum of 4 meters per second. Its dual arms collectively handle 10 kilograms, and the full robot manages up to 20 kilograms, sufficient for tasks such as cargo transportation or emergency supply delivery.
Flexibility in industrial deployment is further enhanced by DR02’s modular quick-detach architecture. Core components, from arms to legs, are interchangeable, making maintenance more efficient and reducing downtime. Meanwhile, its processing backbone is a 275 TOPS computing unit that processes real-time sensor data from LiDAR, depth, and wide-angle cameras, ensuring path-planning and obstacle avoidance. The company suggests that software upgrades will allow the robot to improve its capabilities over time, broadening the scope for future applications.
