LimX Dynamics Launches Multi-Modal Biped Robot TRON 1

LimX Dynamics, a general-purpose robotics company, has just unveiled TRON 1, the first multi-modal biped robot. Customers can access to three modes in one purchase. Pre-orders of TRON 1 are now open. Early Bird program offers an exclusive pricing starting at USD$15,000 for the standard edition.

In the AI era of general-purpose robots, TRON 1 serves as the best onboarding platform for humanoid robot motion control and a must-have testbed for embodied intelligence research.

Multi-Modal Biped Robot TRON 1

Three-In-One Modular Design for Diverse Algorithm Development

TRON 1 features a unique “Three-In-One” modular design, incorporating three foot-end configurations that balance the simplicity of the biped structure with the flexibility to switch among different foot ends. These configurations include:

  • Point-Foot: Easy to control in the simplest legged form factor
  • Sole: Stand and walk in a humanoid legged form factor
  • Wheeled: Unleash the full potential for all-terrain mobility

TRON 1’s foot-end structure allows for quick assembly and disassembly based on researchers’ needs. The robot’s motion control modes can seamlessly switch according to changes in foot-end configurations by automatic hardware recognition and software adaptation. This design offers researchers a more flexible and versatile platform for their studies.

Quick Assembly and Disassembly Mechanism

TRON 1 comes with built-in high-performance motion control algorithms and intuitive operating modes, along with a comprehensive user manual, ready for remote control right out of the box.

Ready to Use Out of the Box

Fully Open SDK and Hardware Interface

TRON 1 supports cutting-edge research in both model-based and learning-based approaches. Equipped with in-house developed advanced joint actuators, TRON 1 is integrated with a hardware structure specifically designed for legged robots, significantly enhancing its motion performance and stability. To meet the demands of more complex algorithm verification and validation (V&V), TRON 1 offers access to hardware interfaces, allowing researchers to call key joint control algorithm to achieve the superior hardware performances.

Enhanced Motion Performance

Spin up Reinforcement Learning Research

TRON 1 offers a highly streamlined R&D environment, facilitating full-process development with Python. It eliminates the need for users to be proficient in complex programming languages such as C++. Additionally, TRON 1 boasts one-click Sim2Real deployment, simplifying algorithm validation on robots and substantially reducing the hurdles associated with the development of reinforcement learning algorithms.

The robot also offers detailed secondary development guides and code examples, supporting mainstream simulation platforms such as NVIDIA Isaac, Mujoco, and Gazebo. This provides developers with abundant development resources and an efficient cross-platform environment for designing and validating algorithms.

Supports for Secondary Development

TRON 1’s Unified Robot Description Format (URDF) minimizes the Sim2Real gap, reducing repeated debugging efforts and significantly enhancing the efficiency of robot testing and algorithm validation. This ensures that R&D outcomes are viable, usable, and reliable in practical applications.

Minimal Sim2Real Gap in Algorithm Validation

Practical Peripheral Expansion Ports for Diverse Research Goals

Boasted a wide range of practical ports, TRON 1 allows for various expansion accessories such as radars, robotic arms, cameras, and dual-spectrum gimbals according to users’ needs. This maximizes the fulfillment of diverse research goals. TRON 1 empowers innovators to target a wide variety of research purposes such as algorithm validation, academic research, industrial exploration and engineering education.

Flexible to be Integrated with Various Expansion Accessories

As a next-generation research platform for embodied intelligence, TRON 1 aims to provide developers with access to more advanced robotic platforms at lower costs and higher efficiency, empowering perpetual innovation.

Pre-order TRON 1 now and enjoy an exclusive early bird discount starting at USD$15,000 until December 31, 2024.
