NAO vs LimX Oli

NAO V6 is a 58 cm, 5.48 kg, 25-DoF bipedal humanoid sold by RobotLAB for $16,990 and Generation Robots for €10,020 incl VAT. It uses an Intel Atom E3845 with 4 GB RAM, two 5 MP cameras, four microphones, sonar, tactile sensors, and a 62.5 Wh battery rated for 60-90 minutes. About 20,000 units have reportedly been sold in 70 countries; USC has 12 units. It is an education/research platform with Choregraphe, Python, and C++. Autonomy is claimed but not independently benchmarked; video demos exist but were title-only in this review. No payload, walking speed, hand DoF, or manipulation demos were found

LimX Oli is a pre-order, 165 cm, 55 kg, 31-DoF biped research humanoid from LimX Dynamics, priced from RMB 158,000 (~$21,800). It has dual Intel RealSense depth cameras, a 6-axis IMU, modular design and slide-out battery, but no official payload, runtime, battery capacity or walking speed. The strongest public evidence is a secondary research summary reporting stair climbing of a 33-step spiral staircase in 12 seconds with zero falls, and benchmark returns of 0.85 for velocity tracking. Official video titles claim fully autonomous tennis ball picking and scalable autonomous deployment, but no transcripts or independent verification were found. No named customer deployment exists
