Commercial record

What it actually costs.

Pricing is presented in full, not flattened to one number. Figures vary by configuration and by where the unit is purchased.

Pricing

Not publicly priced

Deep Robotics does not firmly publish a Lite3 list price; the platform is sold by quote through resellers, and pricing varies by variant (Basic, Venture, Pro, and LiDAR configurations differ in payload, range, compute, and sensing).[3][2]

Overview

The Lite3 is Deep Robotics' light research and education quadruped, the accessible counterpart to the company's industrial X20 and X30 line. At 12 to 13.5 kg depending on variant, it ships in four configurations (Basic, Venture, Pro, and LiDAR) with an RK3588 motion host, optional NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX compute, an Intel RealSense D435i depth camera, and optional LiDAR. Deep Robotics states 50 percent more joint torque than the prior generation, and the platform demonstrates front-flips and self-recovery. It runs ROS1 and ROS2 with an open SDK and API.

Strengths

  • Light and portable at 12 to 13.5 kg by variant.
  • Four variants spanning entry research to LiDAR-equipped configurations.
  • ROS1 and ROS2 support with an open SDK and API.
  • 50 percent more joint torque than the prior generation, per Deep Robotics.
  • Demonstrated front-flips and self-recovery.
  • 40 degree slope and 18 cm obstacle capability.

Considerations

  • A research and education platform, not industrial-hardened: it carries no ingress-protection rating like the X30's IP67.[2]
  • Runtime is short, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.[2]
  • No firmly published list price; pricing is quote- and variant-dependent.[3]
  • Speed figures conflict across sources: official and reseller listings state up to 2.5 m/s, while some coverage reports approximately 4 m/s.[2][4]
