Agilex LIMO PRO

Most autonomy algorithms look flawless in simulation and then meet the real world: a chair leg the map never showed, a reflective floor that confuses the depth sensor, a corridor narrower than expected. The Agilex LIMO PRO exists to close that gap on a desk-sized scale. It places an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, an EAI T-mini Pro LiDAR and an Orbbec Dabai depth camera on one compact chassis, so that code written and tested in Gazebo can be run, measured and corrected on a physical robot the same afternoon.

Robots Europa, based in Dublin, supplies the Agilex LIMO PRO to universities, research laboratories, training centres and development teams throughout the European Union and the DACH region. Robots Europa prepares the quotation, arranges delivery to your institution and remains your point of contact for technical support after the robot arrives.

Background

AgileX and the LIMO family

AgileX Robotics builds mobile robot platforms for research, education and industrial development, ranging from tracked chassis for outdoor work to complete kits for manipulation and autonomous driving; the wider range can be explored in the AgileX category. The LIMO line is the smallest and most teaching-oriented part of that portfolio. The sources name three versions: LIMO, LIMO PRO and LIMO ROS2. All share the LIMO concept of a compact, open development robot, and AgileX has designed a dedicated simulation table for the series, giving classes and laboratories a structured environment in which to rehearse navigation tasks.

Edge AI and multi-sensor perception

What defines the LIMO PRO is its combination of computing and sensing. The NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano provides a 6-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU and a GPU with 1024 CUDA cores, enough onboard capacity to process LiDAR scans, depth images and inertial data locally rather than streaming everything to a workstation. The EAI T-mini Pro LiDAR supplies the planar range data that mapping and localisation depend on, the Orbbec Dabai depth camera adds three-dimensional vision for detection and recognition, and an HI226 IMU contributes orientation data for sensor fusion. AgileX increased the battery capacity to 10000mAh on this version, which improves both power availability and operational stability during longer sessions.

Technical Specifications

Specifications are as published by the manufacturer and are confirmed against the datasheet at quotation.

AgileX has not published the IP rating, the maximum climbing angle, the charging time, the RAM and storage capacity or the motor power rating; Robots Europa confirms these details with the quotation.

What does the LIMO PRO add to a ROS teaching robot?

A small educational robot is often limited by what it can compute on board. With the Jetson Orin Nano, the LIMO PRO runs perception workloads where the data originates: the GPU with 1024 CUDA cores can carry neural-network inference for visual recognition while the CPU handles navigation, planning and the ROS graph. For students this means that the full chain, from raw sensor data to motor command, can be inspected on a single machine.

The software side is equally deliberate. Support for both ROS1 Noetic and ROS2 Foxy allows a department to keep existing ROS1 course material while migrating projects to ROS2 at its own pace. Gazebo compatibility means that a scenario can be prototyped in simulation first, and because the robot accepts both Python and C++, the same platform serves an introductory course and a performance-critical research prototype.

Power is the third element. The 10000mAh battery gives a runtime of 2.5 h and a standby time of 4 h, which suits a laboratory session or a sequence of test runs without constant recharging.

How does the LIMO PRO handle different surfaces?

The robot drives in Four-Wheel Differential Steering Mode, which AgileX designed to make driving on any surface straightforward. The package also contains four Mecanum wheels and two tracks together with mounting accessories and hardware, so the running gear can be changed to suit the exercise or the floor. With a maximum speed of 1 m/s, a minimum ground clearance of 24 mm and an operating temperature range of -10 °C to +40 °C, the LIMO PRO is clearly an indoor and light-duty platform: ideal for laboratories, corridors and test arenas, while rough outdoor terrain is the domain of larger tracked chassis in the AgileX range.

Who is the Agilex LIMO PRO for?

Universities and technical colleges form the first group. A robot measuring 322 × 220 × 251 mm and weighing 4.8 kg fits on a bench, travels easily between rooms and can be handed to a student team without heavy-lifting arrangements. Courses in mobile robotics, computer vision and embedded AI can all be built around the same unit.

Research groups are the second. Teams working on SLAM, multi-sensor fusion or learning-based navigation need a reproducible hardware baseline with LiDAR, depth camera and IMU already integrated, so that experimental effort goes into algorithms rather than wiring. The 4 kg payload leaves room for an additional sensor or a small experimental module.

Product developers and start-ups form the third group: the LIMO PRO lets an indoor service-robot concept be validated at low risk before committing to a larger platform. The sources also name the LIMO and LIMO ROS2 versions; the fact sheet available to us does not provide comparable figures for them, so Robots Europa will set out the differences in the quotation if you are weighing the versions against each other. For heavier payloads, outdoor work or manipulation, other platforms in the AgileX range are the more appropriate starting point.

What is the Agilex LIMO PRO used for?

1. Autonomous navigation: building maps with the LiDAR and planning routes through indoor spaces.
2. Obstacle avoidance: combining range and depth data to react to static and moving obstacles.
3. Visual recognition: running detection and classification models on the Orin Nano GPU.
4. ROS and ROS2 teaching: giving students a real robot for Noetic and Foxy exercises.
5. Simulation-to-reality testing: validating Gazebo scenarios on physical hardware.
6. Prototype development: trying indoor service-robot concepts before scaling to larger chassis.

Summary

The distance between an algorithm that works in simulation and one that works on a real floor is where most robotics learning and research actually happens. The Agilex LIMO PRO is built to make that distance short: edge AI computing on the Jetson Orin Nano, LiDAR and depth perception, an IMU for fusion, ROS1 and ROS2 support, Gazebo compatibility and a 10000mAh battery, all in a robot small enough for a laboratory bench. For universities, research groups and development teams in Europe that want a dependable, open platform for navigation and perception work, supplied and supported by Robots Europa, this page is the starting point.
