Where to buy the LimX Oli: retailers, prices and open questions

The LimX Oli, a 165 cm humanoid robot designed by Chinese company LimX Dynamics, can be ordered. As of 22 October 2026, there are three channels: a retailer in Germany, two retailers in the United States and a direct enquiry to LimX. In China, the manufacturer opened pre-orders in July 2025. No Oli deliveries and no Oli customers have been documented so far, and no retailer based in France has been identified. Listed prices differ by as much as a factor of two, because they do not apply to the same version of the robot.

Where to order the LimX Oli: the channels identified

LimX Dynamics: a sales enquiry form

The official website has no online shop. Its order page is a sales enquiry form where you choose a product from Luna, TRON 2, Oli and TRON 1. LimX commits to getting back to the enquirer within 24 hours and lists a dedicated orders email address as well as a Chinese WhatsApp number. The page shows no price, no version, no lead time and no list of countries it ships to. The phone dialling-code selector includes France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada, China and Japan, among others. This is just a form field, not a list of countries served.

Funduino (Germany): the Oli EDU at a public price

German retailer Funduino lists a “LimX Dynamics Oli EDU” at €84,999.00 incl. VAT and excl. shipping, according to its page as consulted on 22 October 2026. Availability is shown as “Available to order”, with delivery announced within 21 working days. For schools and businesses, purchase on invoice is temporarily replaced by advance payment, to be arranged by email. The page states a 30-day right of withdrawal.

According to Funduino, the package includes the pre-assembled robot, documentation, the SDK and motion libraries, code examples, the power supply and accessories. Its product page lists 165 cm, up to 55 kg including battery, 31 degrees of freedom (including “3 per hip”), 5 km/h, a payload of 3 kg per arm, two Intel RealSense D435i cameras, a 1,000 Mbps Ethernet port, and 12 V / 5 A and 24 V / 5 A outputs.

Robotics Center (US): the Oli Lite

Robotics Center lists an “Oli Lite” version at $46,600.00, according to its page as consulted on 22 October 2026. For delivery within the United States, the site estimates shipping at $1,424.50, for a total of $48,024.50 before taxes. The product is on backorder, with a stated lead time of 4 to 6 weeks for standard shipping.

The spec sheet published by this retailer describes a much leaner configuration. The depth cameras, LiDAR and hands are marked “not included”. Secondary development and the API giving access to the controller and sensors are listed as “not available”. The sheet lists the RK3588 motor-control computer with 8 GB of memory and 64 GB of storage, but no perception computer. It also gives 165 cm, a net weight of 40 kg and at most 55 kg including battery, 55 cm shoulder width, 70 cm arm length, 31 degrees of freedom, a 9,500 mAh battery, 5 km/h and 3 kg per arm. For battery life, Robotics Center states around 2 hours, while LimX quotes around 1.5 hours for the EDU version.

Knoxlabs (US): a starting price and a quote

Knoxlabs’ page, consulted on 22 October 2026, shows two statements at once: “From $ 72,000.00”, a starting price of $72,000.00 given with the dollar sign alone, and “Pricing on request”. Under the retailer’s current terms, a 100% deposit is required. Freight, customs, lead time, training and integration are quoted separately. Sales are final, warranty claims are handled by the manufacturer, and the edition must be confirmed before ordering. The page gives ranges “depending on the edition”: 165 to 175 cm, up to 55 to 60 kg, 31 to 43 degrees of freedom, 3 to 5 kg of payload per arm and a battery life of about 1.5 to 2 hours.

China: LimX’s launch price

LimX opened Oli pre-orders on 30 July 2025, the day of the launch, with an entry price of RMB 158,000, according to its news page and IT-Home. This “starting from” price covers the whole range, with no breakdown by version. TechNode converted it to $21,800 in July 2025. In February 2026, CnEVPost used a figure of about $22,730. IT-Home and TechNode present Oli as aimed at AI researchers, robotics developers and solution integrators.

Why LimX Oli prices are not comparable

TechNode and IT-Home describe three versions of Oli: Lite, EDU and Super. On its product page, LimX refers only to “multiple versions of the LimX Oli series” and notes that some functions may be missing depending on the version. Its specifications page describes a single configuration, the Oli EDU.

The prices recorded therefore apply to different products:

• the EDU at Funduino, at €84,999.00 incl. VAT, excl. shipping;
• the Lite at Robotics Center, at $46,600.00 excl. shipping and excl. taxes, sold without perception sensors, hands or developer access according to the retailer;
• an edition still to be confirmed at Knoxlabs, from $72,000.00;
• the entry-level price in China, RMB 158,000.

On top of these version differences, currencies, tax regimes and delivery scope vary from one seller to another. To place these amounts in the wider market, see the Humanoid robot prices page.

LimX Oli EDU official specifications

The values below come from LimX’s specifications page, consulted on 22 October 2026, which describes only the EDU version. The site contradicts itself on one point: the product page and the launch announcement give up to 31 degrees of freedom, which TechNode and IT-Home specify as “excluding end effectors”. The specifications page counts 33 active degrees of freedom. LimX does not explain the two-degree difference. The full presentation of the robot is on the LimX Oli page.

The official product page adds full Python development, a modular SDK, open high-level and low-level APIs, a complete URDF file for sim-to-real transfer, as well as manuals, guides and code examples. Simulation is compatible with NVIDIA Isaac Sim, MuJoCo and Gazebo, “among others”. The robot also offers bilingual Chinese and English voice interaction, 15 preloaded interactions and dances, OTA updates to the dance library and a quick-swap battery.

LimX Oli warranty, payment and terms of sale

LimX’s specifications page states a 12-month warranty. Beyond that, terms vary by retailer:

• Funduino requires advance payment from schools and businesses and states a 30-day right of withdrawal;
• Knoxlabs asks for a 100% deposit, treats all sales as final and refers warranty claims to the manufacturer;
• Robotics Center shows an estimated lead time and shipping cost for the United States.

Customs clearance and after-sales service for imported hardware are covered in the Warranty, after-sales service and import guide.

LimX order numbers: what we know

According to 36Kr and ChinaVentureNews (14 July 2026), LimX claims several thousand cumulative orders, more than half of them from abroad. This figure covers all of its products. The same articles state that Luna was delivered to customers in China and abroad less than a month after its launch in May 2026, and that TRON 2 is receiving bulk orders in China and internationally. Oli is mentioned only as part of the range, by 36Kr, and ChinaVentureNews does not mention it. LimX’s news page has three entries on Oli in 2025: the opening of pre-orders, a CCTV broadcast alongside an award received at the WRC, and a demonstration of autonomous tennis ball collection.

What we do not know yet

• Official prices. LimX has published no price for each version (Lite, EDU, Super) and none for markets outside China.
• Version details. The contents and specifications of the Super version remain unknown, as do the official differences between Lite and EDU. LimX’s own figures for the weight and battery life of the Lite version are also missing.
• Deliveries and customers. No actual Oli delivery times are known. No number of Oli units delivered has been published and no customer has been named. Order volumes are not broken down by product.
• Availability in Europe. Apart from Funduino in Germany, no European retailer has been identified, and none in France. The warranty period outside China and the organisation of after-sales service in Europe remain unknown.
• The product’s future. LimX has published nothing on Oli’s status since Luna joined its range in May 2026.
