LimX Oli gives researchers, developers and system integrators a humanoid platform for developing robot behaviour. Its software tools support work on movement, handling and interaction. A useful starting point is one behaviour your team wants to build and demonstrate, then the controls and configuration needed to develop it.12

Which Oli is covered?

LimX launched Oli on July 30, 2025 in Lite, EDU and Super editions. The specification page checked on October 26, 2026 covers EDU. It lists a height of 1.65 metres, a weight of no more than 55 kg including the battery, and a maximum single-arm load of 3 kg. Older Super specifications should not be folded into those figures.134

The launch describes 31 body joints excluding the tools at the ends of the arms. The current EDU page lists 33 total active degrees of freedom and two one-joint grippers. The different totals appear to reflect what is being counted. Ask the supplier to confirm the total for the hands or grippers in the delivered package, especially when comparing another edition.13Inferred

The live EDU page checked on October 26, 2026 lists about 1.5 hours of battery life and a 12-month warranty. Indexed text from the same page gives about two hours alongside older multi-edition material; the revision or workload difference remains unresolved. Confirm the edition and operating conditions before planning a session. LimX’s quick-swap battery description does not establish that batteries can be changed while powered.32

What the development platform offers

LimX supplies a modular SDK, Python development and access to higher- and lower-level controls, alongside support for simulation tools including Isaac Sim, MuJoCo and Gazebo. The purpose is to let a team develop and test behaviour before and during work with the physical robot. Those tools are valuable because the application remains something that people must build and validate.21

For EDU, LimX lists the motion-control computer as RK3588 / 8GB / 64GB and the perception computer as Orin NX 157 TOPS / 16GB / 1TB. Battery capacity is stated as 9,500 mAh. These details belong to that EDU specification, not every Oli edition.3

The maker's overview also describes Chinese and English conversation and custom knowledge bases. Its launch material describes local control, cloud APIs and over-the-air updates. Since the overview covers multiple configurations, a quotation should identify which interaction functions, software services and updates are included for the particular robot.21

Ownership includes a practical operating routine. LimX publishes tutorials covering unboxing, controller pairing, charging, calibration, upgrades and log downloads. Ask the supplier to walk through those tasks, including how a fault is diagnosed and how the robot is safely stored. That is a useful way to understand the time and skills needed alongside the purchase.6

A quote should describe the whole project

The July 30, 2025 launch advertised a domestic starting preorder price of CNY 158,000. The English announcement then described Mainland China availability and a planned international version. The FAQ checked on October 26, 2026 directs buyers to official quotations for configuration, price and lead time. The launch price does not establish today’s delivered cost or which edition is offered in your country.715

Before a trial in a shared space, ask how the installed applications handle sensor data and logs, who can connect remotely, and which functions continue without internet access. Define one task and an acceptance demonstration. If the goal is household use, establish which parts require programming or an operator. Those answers determine whether the package fits the project.1

Sources and notes

  1. 1. LimX Oli: July 2025 launch

    The July 30, 2025 launch describes Lite, EDU and Super, with 31 body joints excluding end effectors. Mainland China availability and a planned international version are historical launch statements. Local control, cloud APIs and updates do not establish offline-only operation.

  2. 2. LimX Oli: development tools and overview

    The overview describes development tools, modular construction, quick-swap batteries and interaction features across versions. Confirm the functions in the delivered edition. Quick-swap does not establish powered hot-swapping.

  3. 3. LimX Oli EDU: current specifications

    The live EDU page checked on October 26, 2026 lists 165 cm, no more than 55 kg including the battery, 33 total active degrees of freedom and about 1.5 hours of battery life. Indexed text from the same URL retains about two hours and multiple editions. The revision or workload difference remains unresolved. Explaining 33 as 31 body joints plus two grippers is an inference, not a manufacturer-confirmed reconciliation.Inferred

  4. 4. LimX Oli: earlier multi-edition brochure

    The older brochure’s Super entry lists 175 cm, no more than 60 kg and 43 degrees of freedom. Those figures describe Super in that document, not current EDU. The filename’s date is not treated as a verified publication date or proof that every edition is still available.

  5. 5. LimX Dynamics: ordering and product FAQ

    LimX describes Oli as a research and development platform and directs buyers to configuration advice and an official sales quotation. Prices and lead times depend on that quotation; no destination-specific household package is established here.

  6. 6. LimX Oli: setup and maintenance tutorials

    The maker’s gallery lists unboxing, controller pairing, charging, calibration, upgrades and log-download tutorials. These identify ownership tasks, not an assurance that every fault can be repaired by the buyer.

  7. 7. LimX Oli: launch preorder pricing

    The July 30, 2025 launch announcement gives a domestic starting preorder price of CNY 158,000. It does not allocate the exact edition or package here, and it is not today’s delivered international price.

  8. 8. LimX Oli: linked brochure

    The current Oli page links this four-page PDF. Its contents were not available as specification evidence in the source record, so no figures are taken from it. The filename alone does not establish publication on June 25, 2026.
