At CEATEC, China's Luna humanoid dances for over 4 minutes and Japan's N targets the car industry

According to Mynavi News TECH+, the stand of China's LimX Dynamics drew a steady crowd. The start-up, founded in 2022, develops and builds bipedal robots, and is already looking for customers in Japan.

Luna, its entertainment robot, is 160 cm tall. It performed two dances of more than 4 minutes each. LimX also showed Oli, a model intended for factories, and TRON 2, whose feet can be swapped depending on the task.

On the Japanese side, the start-up Highlanders, a spin-off from the University of Tokyo, demonstrated its humanoid N on the AWS stand. It is 175 cm tall, weighs 75 kg, carries 7 cameras, runs on 48 V and lasts 2 hours without interruption.

Highlanders is aiming at the car industry. The company plans to spend 1 to 2 years teaching its robots the steps of car manufacturing. In July, it made a joint announcement with Mitsubishi Motors with a view to mass production.
