LimX Dynamics robot lineup
The ordering page on the official website lists four products: Luna, TRON 2, Oli and TRON 1. It is not an online shop. It is a sales enquiry form, and the team commits to getting back to the requester within 24 hours. The page gives an email address for enquiries and a Chinese WhatsApp number.
LimX Oli: full-size humanoid robot, price and specs
LimX opened pre-orders for Oli on 30 July 2025, with a China price “starting from” 158,000 yuan. TechNode converts this to $21,800 and CnEVPost to $22,730. TechNode and IT-Home describe Oli as a general-purpose humanoid robot available in three versions, Lite, EDU and Super, without giving a price for each. According to both outlets, Oli is aimed at AI researchers, robotics developers and solution integrators. The official product page, for its part, refers to “several versions of the LimX Oli series” without naming them.
IT-Home had announced Oli’s first public demonstration for 8 August 2025 at the World Robot Conference (WRC) in Beijing. On 13 August, LimX’s news feed reported a broadcast on CCTV and an award won at the WRC. On 30 September 2025, the company published a demonstration titled “Oli picks up tennis balls fully autonomously”.
Sources disagree on the number of degrees of freedom (DoF). The product page and the launch announcement give up to 31: 2 in the head, 7 per arm, 3 in the waist and 6 per leg. TechNode and IT-Home specify that this total excludes end effectors. The specifications page, which covers only the “Oli EDU” version, lists 33 active DoF. LimX does not explain the two-DoF difference.
On the software side, the product page lists:
- full development in Python, with a modular SDK and open high-level and low-level APIs;
- a complete URDF file for sim-to-real transfer;
- compatibility with simulators including NVIDIA Isaac Sim, MuJoCo and Gazebo;
- bilingual voice interaction in Chinese and English;
- 15 preloaded interactions and dances, with a dance library updated over the air (OTA).

It brought in three new investors, Stone Venture (United Arab Emirates), Oriental Fortune Capital and CoStone Capital. Nio Capital and Shangqi Capital, a SAIC subsidiary, increased their stakes.
On 14 July 2026, 36Kr and ChinaVentureNews reported a Pre-IPO round of nearly $200 million, or about RMB 1.36 billion, at a post-money valuation of RMB 15 billion. This round brings the total raised in six months to $400 million, or about RMB 2.72 billion. Participants include IDG Capital, Lens Technology, GGG Group and Redstone VC, Hua Capital (Huashan according to the Chinese version of 36Kr), Hefei Binhu and Stone Venture. CEO Zhang Wei puts the share of foreign investors at “more than 70%”. The official news feed mentions this Pre-IPO round in an undated entry.

What we do not know yet
- Oli pricing: LimX publishes no official price for each Oli version (Lite, EDU, Super). No price outside China has been given, either for Oli or for Luna, whose international price is only described as “coming soon”. The valuation at the time of the Series B has not been disclosed either.
- Oli versions: the content and specifications of the Super version have not been published. Nor have the official differences between Lite and EDU, or the manufacturer’s figures for the Lite version’s battery life and weight. The reason for the gap between 31 and 33 DoF remains unexplained.
- Oli deliveries and customers: no Oli delivery has been documented by the company or the press. The number of units delivered, actual lead times and customers are all unknown. Reported orders are not broken down by product, no customer is named, and no delivery volume has been published.
- Europe: no French retailer has been identified. In Europe, only Funduino (Germany) lists a price. The warranty period outside China and how after-sales service is organised in Europe are not known.
- Other products: the detailed configurations of TRON 2 and the specifications of TRON 1 have yet to be verified.
- Oli’s future: LimX has published nothing on Oli’s positioning since Luna arrived.
