What it is

CL-1 is a full-size general-purpose humanoid robot from LimX Dynamics, first publicly demonstrated in dynamic testing on December 28, 2023, and China's first humanoid robot to climb stairs and descend slopes dynamically based on real-time terrain perception. CL-1 climbs stairs using dynamic real-time perception rather than terrain modeling, moving away from the 'blind walking' common in the industry; the robot weighs about 70 kg, has 30 degrees of freedom across its body, and walks at about 1.5 m/s.

Highlights

01China's first humanoid robot to climb stairs and descend slopes dynamically based on real-time terrain perception
02A full-stack closed loop from real-time perception to gait planning to whole-body control, eliminating 'blind walking'
03In 2024 it achieved dynamic capabilities including one step per stair tread, running back and forth and mountain climbing
