A Shenzhen-based robotics company LimX Dynamics has officially unveiled its latest humanoid robot called Luna. The robot made its first public physical appearance at the Taobao Influencer Festival, marking the world’s first live showcase of the platform.
The unveiling suggests LimX is expanding beyond purely industrial humanoid robotics toward robots designed for broader public interaction, lifestyle, and commercial environments.
LimX’s previous flagship humanoid, OLI, was known for its industrial metallic silver design and its ability to operate in rugged environments such as construction sites and industrial facilities.
Luna, however, represents a different direction for the company, featuring what LimX describes as a more lifestyle-oriented aesthetic.
During its debut presentation, Luna performed a short catwalk demonstration and executed an illusion turn, a gymnastics-style movement used to demonstrate balance, agility, and motion control.
The demonstration highlighted the robot’s walking stability, joint coordination, and overall movement fluidity rather than industrial task performance.
According to LimX Dynamics, Luna features upgrades to its mechanical configuration and joint system, allowing the humanoid robot to achieve 33 degrees of freedom.
This level of articulation enables more complex movement patterns and a more human-like gait compared to many current-generation humanoid robots.
Although LimX has not yet released a full Luna specification sheet, the company confirmed that the robot is based on the same architecture as its OLI humanoid platform.
According to Origin of Bots, the Luna humanoid stands 165 × 55 × 30 cm and weighs about 55 kg with its battery installed, placing it close to human proportions.
The robot can walk at speeds of up to 5 km/h (1.4 m/s), and the battery system is intended to support extended research and development cycles.
Luna uses dual Intel RealSense D435i depth cameras mounted on the head and chest along with RGB cameras for object recognition and interaction tasks. The robot employs vision–LiDAR fusion and Visual SLAM for navigation in dynamic environments and crowded spaces.
On the OLI platform, LimX uses a computing backpack powered by an NVIDIA AGX Orin chip, while perception computing is handled by an Orin NX module rated at 157 tera operations per second.
The robot operates on a Linux-based software environment using ROS 2 and Python, allowing developers and researchers to build custom interaction scripts, robotics applications, and autonomous behaviors.
LimX Dynamics also stated that Luna is designed for long-term operation and research use, with battery systems intended to support extended development and testing cycles over multiple years.
