Deep Robotics Lite3 is a mid-weight research quadruped engineered for universities, labs, and AI development teams who need a capable, open platform for locomotion, SLAM, and reinforcement learning research. At 12 to 13.5 kg depending on variant, the Lite3 delivers 50% more joint torque than its predecessor and reaches up to 4 m/s, while climbing 40° slopes and clearing 18 cm steps. Available in Basic, Venture, Pro, and LiDAR configurations, each variant adds depth cameras, LiDAR, or enhanced compute for progressively more complex perception and autonomy tasks. With ROS2-ready interfaces, open SDKs for locomotion and perception, and full URDF, MuJoCo, and simulation support, the Lite3 is one of the most accessible serious research quadrupeds on the market.
