Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the DEEP Robotics Lite 3 cost?

Lite 3 is listed in four configurations at a live US dealer listing, verified September 19, 2026: Basic $4,995, Venture $5,995, Pro $9,995 and LiDAR $14,500. The dealer's catalogue published a 2–4 week delivery window on September 17, 2026. Use the listing link above for the live price, or request a quote through BotInfo for a variant recommendation matched to your use case.

What is the Lite 3 designed for?

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.

What are the four Lite 3 variants?

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. Request a quote with your use case for a specific recommendation.

Does the Lite 3 support ROS2 out of the box?

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.

Can the Lite 3 ship to universities internationally?

Yes — Lite 3 ships worldwide. The dealer's catalogue published a 2–4 week delivery window on September 17, 2026, plus international transit. Educational pricing and institutional PO terms are available through BotInfo for qualified academic buyers.

How does the Lite 3 compare to industrial quadrupeds?

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.
