AgiBot LingXi X1: DIY Humanoid Robot – Unlocking New Possibilities for Tech Exploration

Humanoid robots are definitely having their moment, and the AgiBot LingXi X1 really stands out. Its core strength? Empowering you to build and create. Think of it as your personal "tech playground," perfect for educators digging into robotics, researchers pushing boundaries, tech explorers tinkering, and especially DIY enthusiasts who love getting hands-on. We designed the LingXi X1 to meet all sorts of needs. Its solid specs and open setup make a big idea – "build your own robot" – feel totally doable. It turns that dream into something real.

I. Modular Design + High Flexibility: Beyond Basic Movement

The modular design of the LingXi X1 is a game-changer. Every functional module features clear interfaces, allowing easy upgrades—whether swapping sensors, expanding arms, or customizing its look. With 30+ degrees of freedom (DOF) (25+4 total DOF; 5+2 dimensions per arm), it mimics human movements like waving, bending, and grasping (10-DOF fingers, supporting OmniPicker operations). Its joints deliver 20N·m torque, enabling it to lift 0.5kg objects steadily. This flexibility makes it ideal for R&D tests, teaching demos, or creative experiments.

II. Full-Stack Open-Source: Lowering Barriers, Step by Step

For developers, the LingXi X1’s open approach is a breakthrough:

Hardware Transparency: Full blueprints, BOM lists, and assembly guides—every mechanical/electronic detail is traceable.

Software Freedom: Open access to the AimRT platform, control code (e.g., reinforcement learning scripts), and simulation tools streamlines algorithm testing.

Complete Kits: Core components (motors, controllers), structural parts (shells, frames), and electronics (sensors, batteries) are included—no sourcing headaches.

This "hardware + software + components" openness lets students, researchers, and hobbyists dive into humanoid robotics at low cost.

III. Versatile Use Cases: From Classrooms to Labs

At 133cm tall and 44kg (54kg with shell), the LingXi X1 combines safety (overload-proof joints) and modular maintainability. The LingXi X1 isn't just for one thing. It adapts:

Education: Use it to teach coding, like Python or C++. Students see their commands turn into live robot actions right away. It's also great for simulating real service tasks, showing how humans and robots can interact in a clear, visual way.

Research: Got a motion control idea? Testing reinforcement learning? Working on vision algorithms? The LingXi X1's open framework is your testbed. It even has a built-in depth camera ready to go.

DIY & Fun: This is where it shines for makers. 3D-print a unique shell to give your robot personality. Dream up something cool – maybe dancing, or carrying stuff – and build that function yourself. The possibilities feel wide open.

We built the LingXi X1 with high expandability in mind. This means whether you're in a classroom, a busy lab, or your own workshop, it transforms that space into a zone for creativity and invention.

IV. Rock-Solid Specs: Built to Perform

You need a robot you can rely on. The LingXi X1 delivers:

Power & Smarts: It runs on a powerful 13-cell lithium-ion battery. For brains, a 10-core Jetson Xavier NX processor handles real-time decisions fast. Industrial-grade bearings inside the joints keep things precise while handling weight smoothly.

Sensing & Connecting: See the world with its depth camera. Stay connected using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth 5.2. The 10,000mAh battery (that's the single pack) gives you a solid 2 hours or so of run time for shorter tasks or experiments.

Room to Grow: These specs mean the LingXi X1 works great right out of the box. Crucially, we also designed it so you can easily add new things later. It's built for your future ideas, not just today's projects.

V. Open source future: Let's build a new ecosystem together

The golden age of humanoid robots has really come! Technology is advancing rapidly, policies are also strongly supporting (take the promotion of mass production in China as an example), and the entire field is full of vitality. AgiBot LingXi X1 is far more than a robot product for us. It is more like a connection point, a platform for everyone to play together.

Through LingXi X1, AgiBot brings together developers, teachers and hands-on makers from all over the world. It's pretty cool to think about it! We can see that some people are busy optimizing algorithms to make the robot's movements smoother; some are thinking about developing new applications and exploring what it can do; and some are focusing on polishing the hardware details to make it more durable. Everyone is working together, and this combined force is pushing the entire humanoid robot field forward, much faster than fighting alone.

Therefore, the goal of LingXi X1 is not just how many units it can sell. What we care more about is to make it grow into a vibrant ecosystem. Imagine what will happen as more and more people play with LingXi X1 and the community grows bigger? Maybe, specialized teaching courses will emerge; maybe, toolkits for research will be born; even some practical business ideas can sprout here. Isn't this what we are looking forward to? Let humanoid robot technology no longer be just high-tech in the laboratory, but slowly enter our classrooms, factories, and even daily life.
