Pupper v3

ShippingShipped

An open-source, 3 kg robot dog with brushless motors, a fisheye camera, a screen face and a microphone, designed to teach motor control and reinforcement learning. Stanford's CS 123 students build one from a starter kit each spring. It is a teaching and research platform you assemble yourself, not a finished pet.

Generic open-source kit illustration, not the Stanford Student Robotics / Hands-On Robotics Pupper v3.

The project says you can build Pupper v3 yourself for about $2,000. Reseller AIFITLAB sells a parts kit from $1,450 that excludes printed parts, battery and controller.
