The Chinese company LimX Dynamics introduced the “world’s first modular two-legged robot” Tron 1. The price of the new product is $15 thousand. The height of the robot is only 85 cm and it looks like a baby bipedal combat vehicle from the Star Wars saga. A walking robot’s limbs can be modified for different modes of locomotion, from mimicking a human gait to moving on wheels. This robot is a godsend for studying and developing in the field of robotics.
LimX Dynamics has previously been noted for its demonstration of anthropomorphic robots and four-legged robot dogs. The Tron 1 robot is in some ways a compromise – it does not have a torso or arms, and is also deprived of a second pair of legs. But it is a convenient and relatively accessible platform for students and specialists to explore the capabilities of upright robots and gain skills in the field of robotics.
The robot already has a basic program for supporting stability, including maintaining balance if it is pushed or hit. It automatically detects the type of limbs installed – soles, round ends or wheels – and moves depending on the type installed. The robot can also be controlled remotely using a remote control. A variety of interface ports and mounts open up the possibility of installing additional devices from lidars to manipulators.
The Tron 1 robot is made of aluminum and plastic. He weighs about 20 kg. It is based on a computing platform based on the 12th generation Intel Core i3 processor. From a fully charged battery, the robot can operate for about two hours. The price set for it at $15 thousand will be changed after some time. Limited offer. Toys are becoming more and more expensive.
