LimX TRON 1 is a multi-modal bipedal robot platform built by LimX Dynamics, announced on 17 October 2024 and shown publicly at CES 2025. Marketed as the "world's first multi-modal biped robot" — the key innovation is a modular three-in-one foot-end architecture allowing the user to switch between three locomotion modes on the same frame: Point-Foot (simple point-leg control, <1 m/s), Sole (humanoid walking, <1 m/s), and Wheeled (wheel-based locomotion, ≥5 m/s for fast all-terrain movement).
The platform is a dedicated testbed for motion-control and embodied-AI research. Dimensions: 392 mm length × 420 mm width, maximum height 845 mm. Weight with battery: 20 kg. Aluminium and industrial-plastic construction. Maximum load 10 kg (up to 15 kg peak), maximum obstacle height 200 mm, slope up to ±30°, supported obstacle height 15 cm, climbing angle ≥15°. Operation in −5 to 40°C, up to 120 minutes of continuous operation per battery cycle.
Actuation: in-house-developed electric actuators, 48 V, 30 Nm continuous torque, 80 Nm peak torque. Onboard compute: Intel Core i3 12th-gen CPU, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD — handles real-time control, AI inference, and local data storage. Baseline sensors: RGBD camera (3D perception) and IMU (inertial measurement for balance). Connectivity: WiFi 2.4/5 GHz, Ethernet, USB, dedicated expansion ports for cameras, arms, and LiDAR.
Software ecosystem: open SDK with full Python support. Automatic hardware recognition and software adaptation. One-click Sim2Real deployment — policies trained in NVIDIA Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, and Gazebo simulators drop straight onto the robot. A complete URDF model is available. The high-level "humanoid brain" LimX COSA (Agentic OS) can also run on TRON 1 — placing it in a coherent LimX ecosystem (alongside Oli and Luna) served by the same agentic layer.
Optional expansions: 6-DoF Arm Expansion Kit (for mobile-manipulation and whole-body research) and Sensor Expansion Kit with LiDAR and depth camera (for 3D mapping, relocalisation, navigation, and dynamic obstacle avoidance). Target user groups: university labs (bipedal locomotion, RL, motion control), robotics teams, AI education, technology demonstrations — aligned with LimX Dynamics' IDS strategy. Available in EDU and Standard variants through international distributors (RobotShop, US Robot Store, Aurix Robotics, MZX Robotics).
