LimX Dynamics debuts full‑size humanoid robot starting at $21,800




Embodied AI robotics innovator LimX Dynamics has unveiled its flagship full-sized humanoid robot, LimX Oli (internally referred to during development as CL‑3), with base pricing beginning at RMB 158,000 (approximately $21,800).

Standing 1.65 m (5‑foot‑5) tall and weighing around 55 kg, Oli contains 31 degrees of freedom (not counting end-effectors) and is designed as a general-purpose research and integration platform for AI researchers, robotics developers, and solution integrators.

The robot’s modular hardware/software architecture and evolving development toolchain support the full pipeline from algorithm experimentation to system deployment.

Oli is offered in three configurations:

  • Lite – entry-level version
  • EDU – education-focused
  • Super – full-featured professional kit

All versions include an SDK with fully open interfaces, enabling access to sensor data, status monitoring, low-level joint control, and high-level task scheduling.

Background and technology context

LimX previously showcased an earlier humanoid model, the CL‑1, which demonstrated continuous heavy-object loading in warehouse‑style environments during 2024 testing.

In addition, the company has developed VGM (VideoGenMotion), a framework for embodied manipulation based on human video data and motion learning.

These developments reflect LimX’s deeper focus on building embodied AI systems: robots that move with context‑aware perception and learning.

Industry significance

The launch of LimX Oli signals a major step in commercial humanoid robotics: a platform designed not just for narrow task automation but for flexible, human‑scale adaptability across logistics, manufacturing, and research use cases.

Industry commentators note that Oli bridges the gap between minimalist robotic arms and wheeled automation by offering full-body mobility and coordination – ideal for environments requiring nuanced interaction or multi‑task operations.

Though LimX has begun rolling out Oli in mainland China first, the company indicates that a global version is in development.

Beyond manufacturing: Cobots in healthcare, labs, and food service

Image
When you hear the word “robot”, you probably picture a massive, unmoving arm on an assembly line, precisely welding car parts or lifting heavy machinery. And for good reason – industrial robots have revolutionized manufacturing for decades.  But a new breed of robotic assistants, collaborative robots or cobots, are breaking free from the factory floor, proving their versatility and value in an array of surprising environments. Designed to work safely alongside humans, cobots are now making significant inroads into fields like healthcare, laboratory research, and even food service, transforming how we approach tasks in these diverse sectors. Healthcare: A helping hand for professionals and patients In the fast-paced and often understaffed world of healthcare, cobots are emerging as invaluable allies. They aren’t replacing human caregivers but rather augmenting their capabilities, taking on repetitive or physically demanding tasks that free up medical professionals to focus on direct...

GreenBot unveils autonomous system for weeding woody crop areas

Image
The   GreenBot   project has taken a key step towards sustainable agriculture with the field deployment of a high-precision autonomous vehicle designed for the smart and localized control of weeds in woody crops such as almond, citrus, and olive trees. This breakthrough, made possible thanks to a public-private partnership, integrates artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and machine vision to optimize the use of plant protection products, reduce costs, and mitigate the environmental impact of intensive farming. A tech response to an agronomic challenge Weeds pose a constant threat to agricultural production, with estimated crop yield losses of up to 40%. Conventional control methods, based on the widespread application of herbicides, are not only costly (up to 30% of production costs) but also harmful to the environment due to drift or runoff. GreenBot addresses this problem through a precise and targeted approach, adapted to the complex environment of woody crops, where ac...
