TRON 2: LimX Dynamics’ Modular AI Robot Platform with 3-in-1 Configuration

LimX Dynamics has introduced TRON 2, a versatile modular embodied AI platform designed for research laboratories and industrial applications. This innovative system can transform between three different configurations to tackle various tasks, making it an adaptable solution for diverse research needs.

Key Features of the TRON 2 Platform

The TRON 2’s standout feature is its modular architecture that allows it to be configured in three distinct ways:

Dual-arm configuration: Optimized for manipulation tasks, featuring two 7-DoF arms with spherical wrist designs
Wheeled-leg configuration: Designed for all-terrain mobility and increased payload transport
Bipedal (sole feet) configuration: Specialized for terrain-specific locomotion, including stair climbing

Each robotic arm provides impressive capabilities with a 70 cm workspace reach and combined 10 kg dual-arm payload capacity. The system achieves low 50 ms teleoperation latency and includes front-facing cameras for visual perception during manipulation tasks.

Mobility and Power Specifications

The mobility capabilities vary by configuration. In wheeled-leg mode, the TRON 2 can support a substantial 30 kg payload and includes an auto-recharging function. The bipedal mode employs visual-based motion planning for navigating stairs and complex terrain. According to LimX, the system delivers a 100% increase in maximum payload and an 80% improvement in battery capacity compared to previous versions.

Safety is prioritized through active algorithmic boundaries that prevent self-collision and equipment damage. The system also features dual redundant power systems that automatically secure the robot’s arms in a safe position if power loss occurs.

Software Integration and Development Support

The TRON 2 functions as an integrated vision-language-action (VLA) platform with comprehensive software tools for the entire data pipeline. Researchers and developers benefit from:

A fully open SDK with high and low-level interfaces
Complete Python development workflow support
Compatibility with ROS1 and ROS2
Sim2Real development support with provided URDF files for simulators like NVIDIA Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, and Gazebo
Pre-loaded models and tutorials for algorithms such as ACT and Pi0.5
Access to 1,000+ real-world datasets

This robust software environment makes the TRON 2 particularly valuable for AI research and application development.
