DR01
Deep Robotics' first humanoid robot
Contact for pricing
Dr 01 (DR01) is Deep Robotics' first humanoid robot, positioned by the company as an "AI + Embodied Intelligence Explorer." It combines the company's self-developed joint actuators with fusion perception and learning-based control to walk over complex and uneven terrain and recover balance under external disturbances. It is presented as a development and exploration platform for embodied intelligence rather than as a commercially listed product.

Overview
Dr 01 (DR01) is the first humanoid robot from Deep Robotics, a Hangzhou, China company best known for its quadruped robots. The company frames Dr 01 as an "AI + Embodied Intelligence Explorer," a platform for advancing embodied-intelligence research through AI and large-scale data training.
The robot pairs Deep Robotics' own joint actuators with a control approach that fuses the robot's proprioception with environmental perception. This lets it walk across complex, discrete, and randomly uneven terrain and quickly regain its balance when faced with slippery surfaces or external pushes.
Dr 01 was publicly unveiled at the World Robot Conference in Beijing in 2024 as the company's first humanoid model. It is presented as an exploratory development platform and is offered through a contact-sales process rather than as an openly priced, off-the-shelf product.
