LimX Dynamics TRON 1

LimX Dynamics' 2024 bipedal robot with swappable feet, positioned as a research platform for locomotion control.

TRON 1 is a multi-form bipedal robot that LimX Dynamics released on October 17, 2024, built on top of P1, its earlier point-foot bipedal prototype, and aimed at research customers. Its defining feature is a swappable foot: point-foot mode (the simplest leg form and the easiest to control), flat-foot mode (standing and walking like a human), and wheeled-foot mode (a wheel mounted at the end of the leg, letting it roll or step over obstacles) — LimX Dynamics says the hardware auto-detects the foot type and the software adapts automatically. Early-bird pricing started at $15,000, through an offer that ran through the end of 2024. It has no arms, only legs, and is positioned as an entry-level platform for humanoid locomotion control and a testbed for embodied-AI research, suited to university work on reinforcement-learning locomotion control and sim-to-real transfer. Its successor, TRON 2, can switch between dual-arm, bipedal, and wheeled-leg configurations.

ExampleA research group trains a point-foot walking policy for TRON 1 with reinforcement learning in simulation, then deploys it to the real robot to test sim-to-real transfer.
