Side-by-side comparison of two wheeled-leg quadruped robots on a wooded trail: DEEP Robotics' white and gray Lynx M20S in the foreground, and TOPSTAR's black Xingzai with a mounted camera/sensor unit in the background

TOPSTAR’s Xingzai targets inspection, equipment transport and emergency support. Its main attractions are substantial carrying capacity and long advertised endurance, with optional night-vision equipment and specialist sensors extending its potential uses.

DEEP Robotics’ Lynx M20S combines wheels and legs to negotiate demanding terrain. Dual LiDAR, hot-swappable batteries and a wider operating temperature range make it an interesting candidate for inspection in harsh environments.

Metric	Xingzai	Lynx M20S
Overall rank	1	2
Overall suitability score	83/100	79/100
Stated payload	80 kg maximum moving load	35 kg working; 100 kg maximum
Advertised endurance	Up to 8 hours	3.5–5 hours unloaded
Loaded endurance	Not specified in cited release	2.5–3.5 hours
Maximum speed	5 m/s claimed	9 m/s laboratory; 2 m/s operating
Maximum slope	45°	45°
Environmental protection	IP66	IP67
Operating temperature	−20°C to 55°C	−30°C to 55°C
Battery swapping	Not specified in cited release	Hot-swappable dual batteries

Scores reflect the supplied ranking methodology, not field-test results. Specifications are manufacturer claims; payload definitions and test conditions differ. Sources: TOPSTAR and DEEP Robotics.

Assessment: Xingzai stands out on paper for its stated carrying capacity and endurance, although its runtime under heavy loads is not specified. Lynx M20S combines a wider operating temperature range with hot-swappable batteries, but its endurance falls when carrying a payload. These differences suggest distinct operational strengths; the available specifications do not establish which robot would perform better under comparable patrol conditions.
