CL-1: Prototype (2023), never sold; superseded by CL-3 / Oli (full-size humanoid now sold on limxdynamics.com).
Is GR-2 or CL-1 actually available to buy?
GR-2 is shipping to customers. CL-1 has been discontinued. Status reflects the vendor's published commercial position as of the last review and can change between announcement and actual delivery.
Does GR-2 or CL-1 use LiDAR?
CL-1 ships with LiDAR for depth sensing; GR-2 does not. LiDAR adds cost and complexity but improves obstacle detection in low-light or low-contrast environments.
