DEEP Robotics Tongchui M1 with AgileX PiPER-X Arm Helps NTU Team Win IROS 2026 LRC Fully Autonomous Group Championship and Best Autonomous Capability Award

At IROS 2026 LRC, a team from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, used the DEEP Robotics Tongchui M1 quadruped robot with an AgileX Robotics PiPER-X robotic arm mounted on its back (with a depth camera on the end effector), winning the Fully Autonomous Group championship and the Best Autonomous Capability Award. The PiPER-X features a spherical wrist joint design at the end effector, has a payload of 1.5 kg, and can move the camera to adjust viewing distance and angle to complete hazardous chemical label recognition. Through device feedback, coordinate calibration, and task scheduling, the team organized movement, observation, and recognition into a complete autonomous inspection process.
