== Product history ==
A few months after establishment, Deep Robotics launched the first generation of quadruped robot named Jueying. The name came from Cao Cao's horse during the Three Kingdoms period.<ref name=":0" />
In August 2021, Deep Robotics launched the Jueying X20 model. It is an industrial grade waterproof robot designed to be used for industrial purposes and rescue missions.<ref name=":0" />
In March 2023, Deep Robotics launched the Jueying Lite3 model. It is designed for education and research purposes.<ref name=":0" />
In October 2023, Deep Robotics launched the Jueying X30 upgrade model. It was the industry's first quadruped robot that operate in extreme temperatures from -20 °C to 55 °C.<ref name=":0" /> It was reported in January 2025 that Singapore Power Group would use a X30 to perform inspection of its power tunnels.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wu |first=Jessie |date=7 January 2025 |title=Deep Robotics delivers robot SPock for Singapore Power Group · TechNode |url=https://technode.com/2025/01/07/deep-robotics-delivers-x30-quadruped-robot-spock-for-singapore-power-inspections/ |access-date=16 February 2025 |website=TechNode |language=en-US |archive-date=9 January 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250109004247/https://technode.com/2025/01/07/deep-robotics-delivers-x30-quadruped-robot-spock-for-singapore-power-inspections/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
In August 2024, Deep Robotics unveiled and demonstrated its first humanoid robot DR01 at the 2024 World Robot Conference.<ref name=":0" />
In November 2024, Deep Robotics unveiled its Lynx model. Although it was a quadruped robot like previous models, it swapped traditional pad feet for wheels which gave it flexibility to switch between humanoid and quadruped modes. This allowed it to navigate difficult terrains.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=Malayil |first=Jijo |date=23 January 2025 |title=DEEP Robotics' robot dog conquers snow, streams, mountains with ease |url=https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/china-robot-dog-unleashes-insane-moves |access-date=16 February 2025 |website=Interesting Engineering |language=en}}</ref>
