Frequently asked questions
Is a robot dog export controlled?
Legged platforms can fall under dual-use screening in several jurisdictions depending on payload, speed and autonomy options. Orders are screened case by case; university research configurations are usually straightforward. See our Export Compliance page.
Can universities get an education discount?
Yes — accredited institutions receive ~15–25% off with the open courseware bundle (lecture slides + assignment set).
Does it ship with batteries by air?
Batteries ship at 30% SoC with UN38.3 documentation; DDP air and DDP road options are available.
What payloads are offered?
2D/3D LiDAR mast, RGB-depth camera, RTK module, speaker array, and a 6-DOF lightweight gripper arm for research.
