Tron 1 (robot)

History

2024: Product Announcement

In mid-October 2024, the Chinese company LimX Dynamics introduced the world's first modular bipedal robot Tron 1. This model became a commercial version of the unique P1 Biped project, capable of moving over rough terrain.

The Tron 1 robot is designed primarily for use as a test platform for controlling the movement of humanoid robots and artificial intelligence research. Engineers took into account various options for using the robot for research purposes and equipped it with three replaceable limbs for different types of movement.

The simple Point-Foot model has the shape of a rounded rubberized limb, which can be used to move quickly through difficult terrain. A more foot-like model can be used to simulate a person's gait. In addition, the robot can use wheels that allow you to move on a flat road. But even with them, the robot can overcome obstacles by blocking the axle and using wheels as legs, for example, when climbing stairs.

The automatic equipment recognition system Tron 1 determines which of the supporting parts is currently installed and switches to the appropriate motion control software. Users control the robot in real time with the included wireless remote or use the Python programming language for battery life.

It is known that the Tron 1 with an aluminum-plastic case is 854 mm high, weighs less than 20 kg, is equipped with a 12th generation Intel Core i3 processor and should work for more than two hours on a 1.5-hour charge of a lithium battery. The ports allow the robot to be complemented by peripherals such as cameras, radars/lidars and robotic hands.^[1]
