About the DEEP Robotics Lite3 Quadruped Robot
DEEP Robotics' research quadruped and the most credible alternative to the Unitree Go2 for university labs. The Lite3 Basic weighs 12kg including battery, carries a 5kg continuous walking load — more than a Go2 Pro — and runs 1.5-2 hours or about 5km per charge on a hot-swappable pack. Twelve degrees of freedom, an open motion SDK, and ROS2 compatibility make it a genuine reinforcement-learning and SLAM development platform rather than a demo robot; it climbs 40° slopes and 18cm stairs out of the box. Four editions exist (Basic, Venture, Pro, LiDAR) differing in compute and sensor loadout, but only the Basic carries a published price at $2,890 on DEEP Robotics' US store. The rest are quote-only and run substantially higher.
