Humanoid robots developed by DEEP Robotics are undergoing real-world testing in Hangzhou, China, to assist with urban traffic management and public duties. Initial trials focused on regulating traffic at intersections, guiding pedestrians, and providing information to tourists. These systems are designed to operate in extreme temperatures ranging from -20 to 55 degrees Celsius.

Subsequent testing of the DR02 models in the Xihu District has expanded the scope of these trials. The robots are being tested in challenging weather, such as heavy rain, utilizing IP66-rated waterproof and dustproof protection. In addition to manual signaling and multilingual tourist support, the robots now utilize visual perception systems to monitor for traffic infractions. This includes detecting overloaded vehicles, pedestrians crossing boundaries, and motorcyclists not wearing helmets, with the capability to issue automated voice-based warnings.
