Lite3
Deep RoboticsThe Deep Robotics Lite3 is a quadruped robot dog designed primarily for research, education, and entertainment, debuted at ICRA 2023 in London. It is available in four variants (Basic, Venture, Pro, Pro LiDAR 2) ranging from approximately $2,890 to $5,400 USD, with weights of 12–13.7 kg, 1.5–2 hour battery life, and up to 7.5 kg payload. Higher-end variants include LiDAR-based autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance, while the Basic variant is primarily teleoperated/manually controlled. The robot supports ROS/ROS 2, SDK/API, and modular expansion, making it a flexible research platform rather than a fully autonomous inspection system like Deep Robotics' industrial X/J series.

Evidence-graded claims from the Deep Robotics deep report
681 Jueying X-series industrial quadruped units have been sold, at an average selling price of RMB 287,500 (~$39,600 USD), with 79.33% of revenue from industry as of the 2025 IPO filing.
These figures are sourced from Deep Robotics' own STAR board IPO filing as reported by HelloChinaTech [8]; while IPO prospectuses carry legal disclosure obligations, the filing has not been independently audited or verified by a third-party analyst cited in the dossier.
from Deep Robotics deep report →Deep Robotics quadrupeds are deployed in real-world industrial environments, including Singapore power grid tunnel inspection and a Ningxia Gobi Desert wind power station (96.5% recognition accuracy).
Both deployments are cited only on Deep Robotics' own official website news items [1][9] with no corroborating report from the Singapore utility operator, the Ningxia wind farm operator, or any independent journalist or regulator.
from Deep Robotics deep report →The Jueying X-series carries an IP67 protection rating, suitable for all-weather industrial operation.
IP67 is stated on Deep Robotics' own product spec page [4] and corroborated by two commerce review sources [6][7], but no independent ingress-protection test report or certification body verification is cited in the dossier; notably the company's own industry page inconsistently claims only IP66+.
from Deep Robotics deep report →Deep Robotics completed a Series C round of over RMB 500 million (~US$70M) led by CMB International and ChinaAMC, with strategic participation from China Telecom and China Unicom affiliated funds.
The funding round is confirmed by Deep Robotics' own press release [9][10] and reported by Yahoo Finance [11] and LinkedIn [10], but all sourcing traces back to the company's announcement with no independent investor confirmation or regulatory filing cited.
from Deep Robotics deep report →The Jueying X-series unit production cost fell sharply from RMB 230,300 (2023) to RMB 131,200 (2025), a ~43% reduction driven by procurement scale.
This cost trajectory is drawn solely from Deep Robotics' own STAR board IPO prospectus as reported by HelloChinaTech [8]; no independent manufacturing audit or supply-chain analysis corroborates the specific figures or the attributed cause.
from Deep Robotics deep report →
The Jueying X-series achieves a max speed of ≥4 m/s per official specs, but an independent commerce source attributes only 2.5 m/s to the X30.
The official spec page [4] claims ≥4 m/s, but an independent commerce review [6] attributes only 2.5 m/s to the X30 specifically, and neither figure has been verified by independent teardown or field testing, leaving the headline speed claim unsubstantiated and potentially model-selective.
from Deep Robotics deep report →Deep Robotics' humanoid robots (DR01, DR02) and wheeled-legged hybrids (Shanmao/LYNX M20, S10) are commercially deployed products, not just prototypes.
The dossier lists these products in the lineup [2][4] and notes 79.33% of revenue comes from industry, but all specific sales volume and deployment data in the IPO filing [8] refer exclusively to the Jueying X-series quadrupeds; no shipment figures, customer references, or independent reviews for the humanoid or wheeled-legged lines are cited.
