Summary:

 

CL‑3 is LimX Dynamics’ most advanced compact humanoid robot, designed for high‑mobility, human‑like motion and real‑time embodied learning. Standing around 165 cm and weighing roughly 45 kg, it features 31 degrees of freedom, whole‑body coordination, and the ability to learn movements directly from video through LimX’s VideoGenMotion system. CL‑3 represents the company’s leap toward affordable, agile, general‑purpose humanoids.

CL‑3: The Compact Humanoid That Moves Like a Human Athlete

 

LimX Dynamics has been iterating rapidly through its CL series — from the stair‑climbing CL‑1 to the dexterous CL‑2 — but CL‑3 is the first model that truly feels alive in motion. Its hallmark is fluidity: lunges, twists, stretches, and warm‑up motions that look more like a human athlete than a machine. This is not motion‑capture mimicry or pre‑programmed choreography — CL‑3 learns from raw video, translating human movement into robotic control without suits, markers, or sensors.

 

This approach signals a major shift in humanoid robotics. Instead of engineering every joint trajectory by hand, LimX is teaching robots to learn the way humans do: by watching. Combined with its lightweight frame, high‑torque actuators, and real‑time balance control, CL‑3 becomes a platform that can adapt, generalize, and move with a natural rhythm rarely seen in compact humanoids.

 

The psychological leap:  

CL‑3 challenges the assumption that small humanoids must be stiff or toy‑like. It shows that grace, flexibility, and human‑level expressiveness can exist even in mid‑size platforms — a preview of what everyday humanoids may look like in the near future.
