Canonical robot record
Overview
The Jueying Lite, marketed by DEEP Robotics as the Lite3, is a compact, lightweight quadruped robot designed for education, academic research, and entertainment. The manufacturer positions it as an agile and fully programmable platform that can be extended with additional sensing and computing hardware.
The robot is sold in several configurations that progressively add perception and navigation capabilities, from a basic developer build up to versions with forward obstacle avoidance and autonomous navigation. Higher tiers add a dedicated perception computer alongside the motion controller.
DEEP Robotics provides open SDK and ROS-compatible interfaces so that users can carry out secondary development in locomotion, perception, and reinforcement-learning research. The design emphasizes modularity and customization for developers and institutions.
RoboZaps maintains this record as part of its canonical robotics database. Specs are source-verified where linked; the record compares public facts across manufacturers rather than representing a single robot maker.

Record changelog
- Max Speed: 1.5 m/s changed to 4 m/s peak (maker launch claim; typical walking ~2.5 m/s per distributors) · Jul 9, 2026
tranche-7 verification (corrected): Current maker pages omit speed, but launch press quotes 4 m/s peak, distributors list 2.5 m/s top walking speed, and even the predecessor Lite2's official datasheet
- Weight: 15 kg changed to 12 kg including battery (Lite3 Basic; up to 13.5-13.7 kg LiDAR config) · Jul 9, 2026
tranche-7 verification (corrected): 15 kg matches no Lite generation (Lite2 = 10-12 kg, Lite3 = 12-13.7 kg) and contradicts core weight_kg=12. Official datasheet value is 12 kg for Basic.
- Height: 330 mm changed to 406 mm standing height (Lite3 Basic; 445-503 mm for Venture/Pro/LiDAR configs) · Jul 9, 2026
tranche-7 verification (corrected): 330 mm matches no Lite generation (Lite2 = 355 mm, Lite3 = 406-503 mm) - aggregator error, and it contradicts this record's own core height_mm of 406.
