The LimX Oli humanoid robot is designed and manufactured by LimX Dynamics, a company known for pushing the boundaries of embodied AI robotics. The robot stands at an exact height of 165 cm (about 5 feet 5 inches), which is roughly the average height of an adult human, allowing it to interact effectively in human environments. It weighs approximately between 45 to 55 kilograms, including the battery, making it relatively lightweight for a full-sized humanoid robot, thereby enabling agility and quicker motion capabilities. The mechanical design incorporates advanced hollow electric actuators that serve the dual purpose of acting as the robot's skeletal structure and power source. These actuators provide strength and speed comparable to human muscle performance, enabling dynamic and fluid movement across multiple joints. The robot boasts a modular hardware and software architecture allowing easy hardware upgrades, component swaps, and software flexibility for diverse applications. Battery life supports extended operation periods suitable for research and commercial deployments, and the robot supports wireless connectivity for remote monitoring and control. The modularity aspect extends to end effector configurations, sensor integration, and control interfaces to meet project-specific needs. Designed to be field-upgradable, the robot receives over-the-air software and firmware updates to enhance capabilities without hardware replacement. The product lineup includes different editions, such as Lite, EDU, and Super, for various use cases from research to industrial implementation. The onboard computing system is powerful enough to run AI algorithms locally while maintaining cloud integration for data analytics and task orchestration. LimX Oli represents a significant advancement over its predecessor, the LimX CL-1, with enhanced degrees of freedom and full-body articulation. Efforts have been made to balance power efficiency with computational resources to meet real-world operational demands. The robot’s structural materials incorporate lightweight aluminum alloys and carbon fiber for durability and reduced weight. Safety systems are integrated for compliance with human-robot collaboration standards. The robot’s chassis is designed to withstand light impacts and environmental stresses typical in factories or public spaces. Applications differ depending on the installed modules and software packages, with emphasis on embodied AI research and commercial tasks. The robot ecosystem includes developer support tools and simulation compatibility for Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, and Gazebo. LimX Dynamics offers comprehensive documentation and SDKs to promote community development and faster integration into existing robotic frameworks.
