LimX Dynamics
LimX Dynamics (逐际动力) is a Shenzhen robotics company, founded in early 2022 by Zhang Wei, its chief executive and a professor at the Southern University of Science and Technology who earned his PhD at Purdue University and did postdoctoral research at UC Berkeley. LimX builds legged robots and general-purpose humanoids, known for strong locomotion and reinforcement learning control. In summer 2025 it launched Oli, its first production-ready full-size humanoid, standing 165 cm tall and weighing about 55 kg, with a modular design for research, education and commercial uses. LimX also sells TRON 2, a low-cost modular robot platform, and introduced the Luna humanoid in 2026. The company has raised heavily: a US$200 million Series B in February 2026 was followed by a pre-IPO round of nearly US$200 million in July 2026, valuing LimX at about US$2.2 billion. LimX is among several Chinese humanoid start-ups preparing to go public.
💡Notable Achievement: LimX Dynamics developed COSA, the first physical-world-native Agentic OS for humanoid robots, enabling advanced loco-manipulation and autonomous cognition in real environments, as demonstrated by their Oli robot navigating debris and following verbal commands independently.

Showing 3 Humanoid Robots of 3 total models
Luna
By: LimX Dynamics
Launched: 2026
Luna is a high-performance, general-purpose humanoid robot developed by LimX Dynamics as a refined, performance-oriented evolution of the Oli platform. Standing 160 cm tall, Luna features a sleek, organic "lifestyle" aesthetic with a rounded head and curved silhouette, moving away from the rugged industrial look of its predecessors. It is engineered for social interaction, performance, and high-difficulty tasks, demonstrated by its ability to perform gymnastics-level "illusion turns" and catwalk walks. Luna integrates the COSA Operating System and LimX’s VideoGenMotion (VGM) framework, allowing it to imitate complex human movements directly from video inputs. It is designed for researchers and luxury service sectors requiring an agile, lifelike gait combined with advanced embodied AI reasoning
Tron 2
By: LimX Dynamics
Launched: 2025
The Tron 2 by LimX Dynamics is an advanced two-arm humanoid robot designed as an embodied AI platform for dynamic wheeled locomotion and manipulation. Standing approximately 157 cm tall, it excels in agile movements, real-time balance, and limb coordination through data-driven learning from its environment. Key features include fluid whole-body motion, object handling, and adaptation to complex terrains like stairs and uneven surfaces. Powered by high-torque actuators and AI algorithms, Tron 2 supports autonomous task execution, teleoperation, and reinforcement learning for versatile applications in research, logistics, and human-robot interaction. Its modular design allows foot swaps for walking or rolling, enhancing versatility in indoor and outdoor settings while prioritizing safety and energy efficiency.
Oli
By: LimX Dynamics
Launched: 2025
LimX Oli is a full-size humanoid robot built for embodied AI research and real-world applications. Standing about 1.65 m tall and weighing 55 kg, it features 31 degrees of freedom, allowing smooth, human-like motion for walking, bending, and handling objects. Oli’s modular design supports interchangeable grippers, LiDAR, depth cameras, and IMU sensors, making it adaptable for various tasks. With an open SDK and cloud-based software updates, developers can customize control algorithms and integrate AI models for advanced operation. Designed for both research and industry, Oli can perform object manipulation, payload carrying, and tool operations, making it suitable for logistics, manufacturing, and service robotics while advancing human-robot collaboration and embodied intelligence studies.
