The two-legged Tron 1 robot from LimX Dynamics bears a striking resemblance to the AT-ST walkers from Star Wars, but it’s not made for conquering the galaxy.

I took the Tron 1 for a spin earlier this year at CES, but right out of the box its abilities were largely limited to preprogrammed movements and remote-control operation. Driving the robot around a Las Vegas hotel room was a lot of fun, but I didn’t scratch the surface of what the robot was capable of until now.
LimX Dynamics has shared some videos of the Tron 1 being put to work in real-world scenarios: as a tour guide, a delivery robot and even a street photographer.
The Tron 1 from LimX Dynamics comes with wheels, pointed feet and flat feet attachments.
These demos show what developers can program a robot like the Tron 1 to do. Time will tell what other capabilities are unlocked in this and other robots.
To see the Tron 1 in action, check out the video in this article.
