Lynx Quadruped Robot - USA-made

For those who cringe when buying cheap toys. For those who don't buckle under pressure - who keep showing up when others give in. For those who hate elitist pricing and sales pitches - real tools for real work. Want a robot that dances, click exit now, but if you need a robot that goes everywhere, keep scrolling here. The Lynx is a quadruped robot built different.

Lynx is a quadruped leg development platform—twelve QDD actuators, CM5 compute, and 48 V power. Optional cameras, controllers, and payloads are configured in the quote tool; specs below match our current quote builder.

Why buy the Lynx?

The toughest part of a robotics business is finding enough customers to buy a specific robot at a price that works. The more general the platform, the easier it is to fit the use case, but the more expensive the robot becomes. For example, the cheapest robot to build is a small tracked robot, but if the use case demands stairs, that one can't climb them; if it demands holding a camera 4 feet off the ground, this small robot will tip over. That small tracked robot, however, is exactly what someone going into a small space needs.

A quadruped is a unique form factor because it approaches human-level mobility while remaining much more stable. This allows the form factor to work for many use cases with minimal modification, and allow further development of the technology that will eventually become widespread in humanoid robots.

Made in USA

Designed and built in the USA. Some components—including motors and other electronics—are imported. We track sourcing down to the part level where it matters for compliance. Lynx is NDAA-compliant.
Field Repairable

Everything physical has the chance to break. Being able to fix the robot yourself is a huge differentiator. Because of the open source nature of the robot, you can easily find the parts you need and fix the robot yourself.
End-to-end control

You have control all the way down to the firmware running on the motor controllers, if you so desire. Being able to access hardware to the lowest levels is unheard of in quadruped robots... apart from the Lynx.
Build your skills or your product

You can freely learn from what we have developed and build on top of this platform. We are always happy to assist in any way we can.
Support USA Manufacturing

The robot dog market is larger than most people realize, and it is largely owned by foreign companies. Putting your money into a Lynx helps build the ecosystem of robotics in the USA.

FAQs

What are these used for?

Lynx is aimed at research, education, and product teams building on a U.S.-made leg stack. You bring locomotion and application software; we supply the actuators, power, and compute documented in the quote tool. Optional cameras, OCUs, and integration work are configured per project—not assumed on every build.

How durable are they?

Made mostly of metal, our robots are built to last. (Durability has always been a priority for us.) While they can't withstand every extreme, they're designed to be ready for precision work year after year with proper maintenance.

If repairs are needed, most can be done without having to ship the robot back to us.

Can they be customized?

You bet! You can customize them yourself, or we can provide that for you.

How does the Lynx compare with the Unitree Go2?

They both have 4 legs... The Lynx is larger and more of an industrial design, versus more of a consumer focus for the Go2. The Lynx is designed and built in the USA, along with being NDAA-Compliant.

How does the Lynx compare with the Unitree B2?

They are comparable in many aspects, although the Lynx is designed and built in the USA, along with being NDAA-Compliant. The price point of the Lynx is much lower than the B2.

How does the Lynx compare with the Boston Dynamics Spot?

They are comparable in many aspects, although the Lynx is designed and built in the USA, along with being NDAA-Compliant. The price point of the Lynx is much lower than the Spot.

What is the difference between Lynx and Lynx Lite?

Same twelve high-torque leg modules, CM5, 48 V battery, and CAN layout. Lynx uses machined aluminum structure; Lite uses sheet metal with harnessing exposed for faster bench access. Lite is offered on production batch pricing; full Lynx is configured in the quote tool.

What is a production batch?

A grouped build of identical Lynx Lite configurations. We buy materials in quantity and manufacture the batch together. Your card is charged when production starts, not when you reserve a spot.
