Ever fantasized about owning your very own AT-ST, stomping confidently through forests (or maybe just across your backyard)? Well, for a cool US$15,000, the LimX Dynamics Tron 1 might be the next best thing.


While it’s not officially a Star Wars scout walker, this cutting-edge multi-modal biped robot brings the kind of tech Cassie—the famed running bipedal robot—can only dream about. And unlike Cassie, Tron 1 doesn’t just run. It switches modes, packs high-tech brains, and might even look cool in a cosplay contest.
The Tron 1 flaunts a “Three-In-One” modular design, letting you swap out its foot configurations as if you were picking new shoes. From slippery surfaces to uneven terrains, this robot is ready to tread anywhere, making it ideal for research into multi-modal locomotion. It’s also a dream for Python enthusiasts, offering advanced motion control algorithms that are practically plug-and-play.
If you’re deep into reinforcement learning, Tron 1 is a lab buddy that won’t ghost you. It supports a range of simulation platforms like NVIDIA Isaac and Mujoco, ensuring your virtual experiments can easily find their footing in the real world. And when you’re ready to trick it out, its expansion ports let you attach peripherals for all your R&D needs.
For developers, LimX Dynamics doesn’t leave you in the dark. A detailed user manual, secondary development guide, and code examples make Tron 1 as approachable as a robot priced at US$15,000 can be. It’s the perfect toy for researchers looking to take their robotics game to the next level. Check out a video of Tron 1 in action below.
