Limx Dynamics Inc. final week launched its newest technology of humanoid robots. The corporate’s new flagship LimX Oli has its dynamic strolling roots within the LimX CL-1 humanoid launched again in December 2023.
The Robotic Report honored LimX Dynamics earlier this 12 months with an RRB50 Robotics Innovation Award for its Tron1 multi-modal biped robotic. The Shenzhen, China-based firm has been working to commercialize legged robots.
LimX Oli stands at 165 cm (5 ft., 5 in.) and is provided with 31 lively levels of freedom, excluding finish effectors. The robotic is configured with a modular hardware-software structure and is supported by a growth toolchain, mentioned LimX. The CL-1 was purely a bipedal analysis platform and was by no means outfitted with practical palms or finish effectors.
In keeping with the corporate, the brand new humanoid is constructed to advance embodied AI growth from algorithm analysis to real-world deployment. Focused at AI researchers, robotics builders, and methods integrators, the brand new mannequin is on the market in Lite, EDU, and Tremendous editions for coaching, validating, and making use of notion, motion-control, and interplay management algorithms.
The LimX Oli will make its public debut this week on the World Robotic Convention (WRC) in Beijing.

LimX Oli has a modular design
LimX Oli options modular {hardware} and software program design with well-defined, developer-friendly interfaces, asserted LimX Dynamics. It claimed that {hardware} elements might be simply swapped.
The robotic helps two-finger grippers or dexterous five-finger palms, in addition to third-party peripherals together with microphones, cameras, tactile sensors, inertial measurement models (IMUs), and lidar sensors. The corporate mentioned the modular design additionally permits straightforward customization for a wide range of assessments or duties.
The open software program growth package (SDK) supplies entry to full-body state, sensor knowledge, joint-level management, and task-level orchestration. Whether or not for teleoperation methods or imitation studying pipelines, builders can quickly construct and check with out modifying the underlying structure, mentioned LimX.

LimX Oli integrates cloud-based software programing interfaces (APIs) and native management, offering a unified expertise, mentioned the corporate. Movement libraries and controller modules are delivered by way of over-the-air (OTA) updates, enabling builders to make use of preset motions or develop and deploy customized logic for quick iteration and real-world testing.
The platform additionally helps onboard deployment of enormous language fashions (LLMs), permitting pure language interplay and multi-stream sensor fusion for superior notion, planning, and embodied reasoning.
Be taught extra about humanoids at RoboBusiness
Don’t miss RoboBusiness 2025 on Oct. 15 and 16 in Santa Clara, Calif. The convention contains periods centered on humanoid robotic growth and deployment, together with a keynote panel on “Classes Discovered from First Humanoid Deployments,” that includes Melonee Smart, chief product officer at Agility Robotics; Katlyn Lewicke, head of worldwide automation technique and intel at GXO Logistics; and Jim Fan, director of AI and a distinguished scientist at NVIDIA.
The humanoid monitor at RoboBusiness may also embody periods on:
- “Humanoids for Actual Functions: Mastering Security and Efficiency,” with Nikolai Ensslen, CEO of Synapticon
- “Developments in Humanoid Actuation,” with Jordan Schaeffler, strategic enterprise growth engineer at Novanta
- “Integrating Behavioral Science into Humanoid Design,” with Ram Devarajulu, vp and head of robotics for North America at Cambridge Consultants
