Overview
A heavy wheel-legged quadruped from Shenzhen built for firefighting, emergency response and industrial work. Its firefighting setup carries a high-pressure water cannon on its back while dragging the supply hose. The maker's June 2026 release rates the cannon at 20 L/s and 60 m with a 120° projection angle. A September 2026 trade article describes a 17.5 kg cannon co-developed with Volla, at 21 L/s or more and 1.6 MPa. The robot weighs 82 kg, carries 80 kg while working and runs on in-house axial-flux motors with 300 N·m peak torque. It climbs 45° slopes, 20–25 cm stairs and obstacles up to 90 cm, and runs 4–8 hours. The maker quotes 7 m/s on wheels in the lab. The product page gives IP66, while press releases say IP67.
It debuted at INTERSCHUTZ 2026 in Hanover. At IFA 2026 in Berlin it was shortlisted for IFA's Best in IFA Next & Emerging Technologies award, shown with its sister model, the Hypertron-SW01. The SW01 is a lighter inspection robot on radial-flux motors, carrying cameras, thermal imagers, gas detectors and acoustic sensors, with no published specs. At more than twice the weight of DEEP Robotics LYNX M20 (35 kg), the T01 is closer in class to Unitree B2-W. Its integrated water cannon sets it apart from both, so it suits fire services and utilities more than research labs.
