Overview
Yahboom's DOGZILLA-Lite and Luwu's XGO-Lite2 are the same robot, with identical 250×145×170 mm, 575 g, 1 mm aluminum frame, 2.3 kg·cm plastic-case servos (no position feedback), 18650 2S 2500 mAh battery. Yahboom adds its own OS image, phone app, LLM/voice demo and good English tutorials. Luwu/Elecfreaks ships the upstream firmware and xgolib. Open-loop gait means it crawls, fine as a talking desk companion, not a mover. For stronger, closed-loop legs see the XGO-Mini2.
