Affordable, ROS2-compatible research quadruped with four variants. Perfect for reinforcement learning, SLAM, and algorithm development.
The DEEP Robotics Lite 3 is an affordable, ROS2-compatible research quadruped designed specifically for academic institutions, research labs, and developer teams building the next generation of legged robotics algorithms. Available in four variants spanning entry-level to full-featured LiDAR-equipped research platforms, the Lite 3 makes high-quality robotics research accessible across a wide range of budgets.
With full ROS2 compatibility, NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX on higher variants, and an open development platform, the Lite 3 is already deployed in dozens of university robotics programs worldwide for reinforcement learning, SLAM development, and real-world locomotion research.
The Lite 3 ships worldwide and is often available from stock. Lead time: 2–4 weeks. Request a formal quote through BotInfo and we'll connect you with DEEP Robotics' sales team to help select the right variant for your research needs.
← Back to MarketplaceLite 3 spans four variants priced from approximately $2,890 to $18,270 depending on configuration — from the entry-level platform to research-grade builds with extended sensing and compute.

The Lite 3 is an affordable ROS2-native research quadruped purpose-built for reinforcement learning, SLAM, locomotion research, and robotics algorithm development. It is the entry point most university labs and research teams use to develop and benchmark new control policies before deploying to industrial-grade platforms.
The variants step up across compute, sensor loadout, and battery configuration to match different research depth and budget tiers. The entry variant suits early algorithm work and teaching; higher variants add the perception and runtime needed for full SLAM and outdoor research.

Yes — Lite 3 is ROS2-native, which is why it is the default platform for many academic robotics groups. SDK, simulation environments, and example controllers are available, so research teams can begin algorithm work shortly after delivery rather than spending months on integration.
Yes — Lite 3 ships worldwide. Lead time is approximately 2 to 4 weeks after purchase order, plus international transit. Educational pricing and institutional PO terms are available through BotInfo for qualified academic buyers.
The X30 Pro is built for 24/7 industrial inspection with IP67 and heavy payload; Lite 3 is built for research speed and accessibility. Most teams use Lite 3 to develop and validate behaviors, then deploy refined policies to industrial-grade platforms when they reach production.
