The robot is aimed to make reinforcement learning more accessible to drive progress in the embodied intelligence revolution.
Chinese robotics player LimX Dynamics has officially unveiled its full-sized general-purpose humanoid robot, LimX Oli, marking a significant step forward in embodied AI robotics.
Designed for use by AI researchers, robotics engineers, and integration specialists, LimX Oli comes in three variants—Lite, EDU, and Super—starting at RMB 158,000 (around $21,800).
The robot features a modular architecture, flexible hardware-software design, and a scalable development toolchain, according to media reports. Its open SDK enables full access to sensor data, joint control, and task scheduling, offering a powerful platform for both research and real-world deployment.
LimX Oli comes in Lite, EDU, and Super versions for AI researchers and system integrators. To promote the EDU model, LimX is offering a limited buy-one-get-one-free deal: the first 50 buyers get a TRON 1 EDU bipedal robot free.
In May 2025, the Shenzhen-based firm showcased its CL-3 humanoid robot performing human-like actions, including stretching and twisting, in a demonstration video.
Humanoid handles all
In the video released by the firm, LimX’s humanoid robot, Oli, mimics a typical human day across various real-world scenarios.
In order to demonstrate its human-like upper body strength and coordination, Oli lifts dumbbells at a gym at the start of the sequence. After that, it goes outside to perform Chinese kung fu with a human trainer, showcasing its balance and fluid mobility.
As the scene shifts to an industrial setting, Oli is seen picking up and sorting things quickly in a warehouse, demonstrating his agility and usefulness in logistics.
The robot’s capacity to switch arms with different attachments, such as normal hands, precision grippers, and agile robotic hands, is also demonstrated in the movie. Oli can handle a variety of activities in a variety of locations because of this modular architecture.
Toward the end of the work session, the robot is deliberately kicked from behind to test its balance.
Oli dynamically adjusts its posture and regains composure, emphasizing its full-body disturbance recovery capabilities. As the day wraps up, the robot enters a leisure mode, grooving and dancing to music with impressive rhythm and movement.
The video positions Oli as a machine and a versatile humanoid adaptable to both work and play.
AI meets mobility
LimX Dynamics says that Oli is designed to advance manufacturing and warehouse operations automation.
At 1.65 meters and equipped with 31 degrees of freedom, Oli is tailored for robotics researchers and system integrators aiming to accelerate the development and deployment of humanoid solutions, reports Tech Node.
Oli stands out due to its full-body mobility and versatility, which surpasses the constraints of conventional robot arms or wheeled platforms. It is an effective development tool because of its open SDK and modular design, allowing users access to joint-level control, sensor data, and high-level task scheduling.
An important step toward scalable, all-purpose humanoid automation has been taken with the launch.
House Bots claims that LimX frees teams from developing hardware from scratch by providing a stable, pre-made platform that enables them to concentrate on integration and AI-driven operations.
Established in 2022, LimX Dynamics is a self-described “general-purpose robotics company” that develops hardware and software for the home, business, and other domains with the goal of achieving general artificial intelligence (AGI).
Its recently released humanoid robot, the CL-3, stands approximately 1.65 meters tall and features between 29 and 52 degrees of freedom, depending on sources, indicating a highly articulated build for complex movement.
Its hollow actuator design with high-torque-density actuators, which permits full-body balancing and a broad range of motion, is a crucial mechanical highlight.
The CL-3 can independently sense topography and navigate difficult conditions because of its onboard sensors and real-time AI algorithms.
Additionally, it has sophisticated motion control technologies that enable accurate, flexible behavior. The CL-3 is suitable for a range of use scenarios and is designed for smooth interaction with dynamic settings.
Previous demonstrations showed the robot executing complex movements such as parallel squats, waist rotations, controlled lying down, and lifting itself off the ground.
