Serviceability score
Best public documentation of any quadruped (full service manual) and MIT/BSD-licensed SDKs — but the warranty on joints drops from 6 months to 3 if you unlock the advertised AI Motion Mode, and parts are inquiry-only.
how we gradeFactory warranty
Per official Jueying Lite3 manual: 1 year on control system, cameras, ultrasonic radars and other electronics; 6 months on joint modules, leg components and replaceable battery (reduced to 3 months after unlocking AI Motion Mode); shell, feet, transport case and accessories excluded; warranty void if disassembled; period starts at receipt.
