DEEP Robotics tests humanoid DR02 robots directing traffic in Hangzhou rain

DEEP Robotics ran field trials of its humanoid DR02 robots in Hangzhou's Xihu District in early October, directing traffic in heavy rain and assisting tourists. The IP66-rated robots can spot violations and give multilingual voice prompts, but the company did not disclose accuracy, uptime or cost savings.

• IP66-rated DR02 robots tested at Zheda Road and West Wenyi Road intersections
• Robots detect riders without helmets, overloaded vehicles and stop-line violations
• Multilingual voice interactions trialled at tourist spots like Xixi Wetland Park
• No data released on accuracy, uptime or cost savings
