Overview
Limo is a multi-modal mobile robot development platform from AgileX Robotics, designed primarily for robotics education, research, and rapid prototyping. It runs on ROS (both ROS 1 and ROS 2 across its variants) and ships with demos and examples so that beginners and advanced developers can experiment with autonomous mobility out of the box.
A defining characteristic of Limo is its ability to switch between several steering and locomotion modes on the same chassis, letting users explore how different drive configurations behave across surfaces and tasks. Onboard sensing includes a scanning LiDAR and a depth camera, supporting SLAM, mapping, path planning, navigation, and obstacle avoidance.
AgileX offers Limo in multiple configurations aimed at different computing and curriculum needs, and positions the platform both as a teaching tool and as a reference for commercial and industrial robotics development.
Key Features
- Switchable steering and locomotion modes (four-wheel differential, Ackermann, tracked, and omni-wheel) on a single chassis
- Onboard scanning LiDAR and a depth camera for SLAM, navigation, and obstacle avoidance
- Native ROS support with preinstalled demos and examples for education and research
- Offered in multiple compute configurations across the Limo product line for different curricula and workloads

Record changelog
- Battery Life: 120 min → 40 min (working time); 2 h standby · Jul 9, 2026
tranche-6 verification (corrected): Manual: battery 12V 5200mAh, 'Working time: 40 min', 'Stand-by time: 2 h'. The record's 120 min is the STANDBY time mislabeled as runtime (runtime-vs-standby confla
- Max Speed: 1.5 m/s → 1 m/s (no load) · Jul 9, 2026
tranche-6 verification (corrected): Manual: 'No-load max speed: 1 m/s'. 1.5 m/s is Scout 2.0-family bleed; no LIMO source publishes 1.5.
- Height: 220 mm → 251 mm · Jul 9, 2026
tranche-6 verification (corrected): Overall dimension 322*220*251 mm — 220 is the WIDTH; height is 251 mm (dimension-order defect class). Trossen prints 322x215x247.
- Communication: WiFi, Ethernet → WiFi, Bluetooth · Jul 9, 2026
tranche-6 verification (corrected): Manual/Trossen docs list Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (antennas on Jetson Nano carrier); Ethernet is not documented as a LIMO interface.
