Inspection, Security & Monitoring Robots
AI Vision for Quality Control, Site Security & Autonomous Patrols
What are Inspection, Security & Monitoring Robots?
These robots use AI-powered cameras and sensors to inspect products for defects, patrol facilities for security threats, and continuously monitor equipment or infrastructure for anomalies — providing consistent, 24/7 coverage that is difficult to match with human patrols alone.

DEEP Robotics X30
The DEEP Robotics X30 is an industrial quadruped robot designed for inspection, reconnaissance, security, surveying and emergency-response work in demanding indoor and outdoor environments. It combines IP67 protection and a -20 to 55 deg C operating range with mobility over 45-degree stairs, open-grate industrial stairways and obstacles of at least 200 mm. Its integrated perception supports autonomous navigation in darkness, strong light, flickering conditions and even without an external light source, while quick battery replacement and autonomous charging support longer inspection workflows. For operators, its main value is reaching complex or hazardous areas, collecting inspection data and reducing repetitive or high-risk manual site access.

DEEP Robotics LYNX M20
The DEEP Robotics LYNX M20 is an industrial wheel-legged quadruped designed for power inspection, emergency rescue, logistics delivery, scientific exploration and other work across difficult terrain. It combines wheeled speed with legged mobility, carrying a rated 15 kg payload while operating across stairs, steep slopes, mountains, wetlands, rubble and narrow passages. The current official specification adds dual 96-line LiDAR, wide-angle cameras, autonomous navigation, omnidirectional obstacle avoidance, IP66 protection, hot-swappable batteries and optional autonomous charging. For operators, its main value is covering larger and harder-to-access sites while reducing repeated human entry into hazardous or physically demanding environments.

DEEP Robotics LYNX S10
The DEEP Robotics LYNX S10 is a compact wheeled-legged quadruped designed for lightweight professional tasks in narrow, rugged and weather-exposed environments. Weighing no more than 20 kg including its battery, it is intended for rapid one-person deployment and can move through narrow passages and rubble gaps while reaching a stated flat-ground speed of 8 m/s and crossing obstacles up to 500 mm high. Its omnidirectional perception, autonomous mapping, localisation, path planning and intelligent obstacle avoidance support assigned inspection or patrol tasks with reduced operator intervention. IP66 protection and operation from -20 to 55 deg C make it relevant to power inspection, security patrol, emergency response and education or research workflows, subject to site, safety and payload validation.

DEEP Robotics Lite3
The DEEP Robotics Lite3 is a compact quadruped platform designed primarily for education, robotics research and secondary development. The series is offered in Basic, Venture, Pro and LIDAR configurations, progressing from visual following and obstacle-stop functions to richer expansion interfaces, forward obstacle avoidance and autonomous navigation. Across the range it combines 40-degree slope capability, 18 cm stair or obstacle traversal, 1.5-2 hours of stated motion endurance and official SDK, API, ROS and reinforcement-learning resources. Its main buyer value is a comparatively accessible, portable development platform for locomotion, perception, embodied AI, human-robot interaction and demonstration work rather than a weather-rated industrial inspection robot.

DEEP Robotics DEEPRoboticsLynx
DEEPRoboticsLynx is a compact wheel-legged all-terrain quadruped designed to combine the speed and range of wheels with the obstacle access and posture control of articulated legs. It carries up to 12 kg, reaches 5 m/s, runs for up to 3 hours or 15 km, and can negotiate continuous 22 cm steps and platforms up to 80 cm. Its official configuration includes dual hot-swappable batteries, a 1080p wide-angle camera, Wi-Fi image transmission, GPS, app and handheld-remote support, IP54 protection and operation from -10 to 40 deg C. For buyers, its main value is fast mixed-terrain mobility for payload transport, remote field observation, exploration and access to routes that are inefficient for conventional AMRs or foot-only quadrupeds.

AGIBOT D1 Ultra IP54
The AGIBOT D1 Ultra IP54 is a compact industrial quadruped designed for security, inspection, emergency-response support, research and custom payload applications. It weighs 15.5 kg, carries a rated 5 kg payload, reaches 3.7 m/s and provides 1-2 hours of runtime with a published range of 6 ± 1 km. Reinforcement-learning gait control supports self-balancing, anti-tipping and disturbance rejection, with continuous stair climbing up to 16 cm, jumps up to 35 cm, and slopes rated at 30° in standard conditions or 40° in extreme conditions. IP54 protection, sealed and anti-corrosion core components, and operation from 0°C to 40°C support deployment around dust, splashes, damp, mud and sand. A 12-DoF platform, 8-core CPU, 1080p wide-field camera, IMU, M4 payload mounting, Gigabit Ethernet, USB, power, SBUS and UART interfaces, and an open high-/low-level SDK provide a strong base for integrator-developed sensing, teleoperation and autonomy. Intelligent following, mapping, patrol and autonomous navigation require secondary development and optional sensors.

AGIBOT D1 Pro
The AGIBOT D1 Pro is a compact, remotely operated quadruped designed for agile demonstrations, light-item carriage, education and remotely supervised inspection or security experiments. It weighs 15.5 kg, carries a 5 kg effective payload, reaches 3.5 m/s and operates for approximately 1-2 hours, with reinforcement-learning-based gait control, 16 cm continuous stair climbing and a 35 cm vertical jump. The supplied joystick controller and real-time image transmission support straightforward teleoperation, while the 48 N·m joints, self-balancing and anti-fall behaviours support dynamic movement across varied ground surfaces. Unlike the D1 Edu, the Pro version does not support an SDK or functional expansion ports, so buyers should treat it as an out-of-the-box remote platform rather than a secondary-development robot.

The platform climbs continuous stairs up to 30 cm, including open-riser industrial stairs, supports self-righting after a fall, and is rated for 45-degree slopes. IP67 protection, operation from -20°C to 55°C and published operation in water up to 20 cm deep support harsh-site deployment. A 117 TOPS GPU compute module, front 96-channel LiDAR, front and rear wide-angle cameras, automotive-grade IMU, TCP/ROS SDK and extensive power/data interfaces provide an industrial base for integrator-developed payloads and autonomy.

Frequently asked questions
What does an inspection or patrol robot cost?
$40,000–$120,000 per system, saving $35,000–$75,000 a year in the deployments we track. Payback is typically 12–24 months.
How does a patrol robot compare with hiring guards?
In a North American warehouse park, one quadruped covered the patrol workload of roughly three security employees, cutting patrol labour costs 66%. Most sites use robots for repetitive routes and keep people for response and judgment calls.
How accurate is robot inspection?
The deployments on this page run at 95–98% detection accuracy. Zhejiang Power Utility's substation robot completes rounds in under 35 minutes (versus over an hour manually) at 98% inspection accuracy.
Can they handle stairs, kerbs and outdoor terrain?
Quadruped platforms can — that’s their advantage over wheeled patrols. Certis chose a quadruped specifically because stairs and uneven terrain created patrol gaps.
Will it integrate with our security operations centre or SCADA?
Yes — SOC and MES/ERP integration is a standard selection criterion, and Zhejiang's robot reports directly into existing SCADA for automated reporting.
What data do we get?
Auditable, time-stamped patrol and inspection logs, live video, thermal imagery and sensor readings (gas, anomaly detection) — evidence-grade records generated automatically.
