LimX Oli: Modular humanoid robot with a large range of motion
The humanoid LimX Oli has a modular design and can be adapted to customer requirements in terms of hardware. Programming interfaces for this are integrated.

The Chinese robotics company LimX Dynamics has shown the humanoid robot LimX Oli for the first time in a video. The robot replaces the LimX CL-1, which was presented in December 2023 and was purely a research robot. Oli is now also intended to pave the way for commercial use as a research platform. Oli has several special features that set it apart from other humanoid robots. For example, the robot has a modular design and can be configured according to customer requirements. LimX has also equipped it with advanced embodied intelligence, which gives the robot human-like body control and thus enables more human-like movements.
The LimX Oli is 1.65 m tall and weighs less than 55 kg with battery. It can lift weights of up to 3 kg per arm and run at a speed of around 5 km/h. The humanoid robot has 31 active degrees of freedom (i.e., hands without end effectors –) and has a modular design. For example, it can be equipped with two-finger grippers or hands with five movable fingers. Additional hardware components can also be added, such as microphones, cameras, tactile sensors, position sensors (Inertial Measurement Unit –IMU), and lidar. This allows Oli to be adapted more individually to customer requirements and optimized for the desired application. The necessary interfaces for hardware and software are already integrated.

LimX provides an open software development kit (SDK) for the robot, which enables access to all robot functions. For example, the entire status of the robot body and sensor data can be called up, and the joints and task control can be carried out. LimX promises that the SDK will enable the rapid development of new capabilities and testing without the need for software modifications. This makes it possible to teach the robot tasks via teleoperation or imitation learning.
Programming interfaces and OTA updates
Oli is equipped with cloud-based programming interfaces (APIs). Motion libraries and control modules are provided via over-the-air (OTA) updates. Developers can therefore draw from a pool of existing movements without having to create them themselves. LimX also provides user-defined logic for developing your own movements.

Also on board is the integration of large language models (Large Language Models – LLMs). This enables natural language interaction between humans and machines as well as extended perception of the environment, planning, and embodied thinking.
LimX Oli is available in three versions: Lite, EDU, and Super. LimX will only reveal the price to interested parties on request. LimX Oli will be officially presented at the World Robot Conference 2025 (WRC), which will take place in Beijing from August 8 to 10.
