Real hardware, safe to learn on
Every new program runs simulation first, then on a gantry, then on the floor. Physical and remote e-stops, a named operator and spotter, and a session log keep the lab safe.
Safety SOP enforced
TRON1 Education Edition · LimX Dynamics × Collie
Teach embodied AI on a real robot, not just in a simulator.
TRON1 is a multi-modal biped robot with an open SDK, a 12-module curriculum and a complete sim-to-real pipeline. Collie delivers it with on-site faculty certification and ongoing local support, so your lab is teaching from week one.

Why TRON1 for education
One platform that grows with your programme
Students learn the same tools industry uses, on hardware they can actually run their own code on, with safety and assessment designed in from the start.
Open-source, industry toolchain
Official LimX repositories cover the full train-to-deploy path, alongside NVIDIA Isaac Lab, MuJoCo, Gazebo and ROS 2, so graduates take skills straight into industry.
Isaac Lab + ROS 2 ready
Three ways to move
Swap between point-foot, sole-foot and wheel-foot ends to compare locomotion strategies (walking, balancing and rolling) on a single robot chassis.
Fast hardware swapping
Expandable for capstones
Add the arm, sensor/LiDAR and voice-interaction kits when your programme is ready for mobile manipulation, SLAM and language-driven embodied AI agents.
Manipulator & LiDAR ready
The sim-to-real learning path
From a policy in simulation to a robot walking in your lab
01 · Simulate
Gazebo & ROS
Run sample joint-move programs and watch kinematics in real time in PlotJuggler or RViz.
02 · Train
NVIDIA Isaac Lab
Train locomotion policies with reinforcement learning across thousands of parallel environments.
03 · Cross-check
MuJoCo
A policy that works in two physics engines is far more likely to work reliably on hardware.
04 · Gantry
Suspended first run
Deploy with Python or ROS 2 while the robot hangs safely, feet just millimetres off the floor.
05 · Floor
Real-world run
Run in a marked test zone with a spotter, then review the rosbag and log the session.
info
Optimal lab economics. About 80% of lab time happens in simulation, so a single robot can serve many student teams, each one booking real-robot time only after their code passes.

Institutional assurance
Frequently asked questions
Yes. About 80% of lab coursework happens in simulation directly on students’ workstations. Student teams book 30-minute real-robot test slots only after their code passes Gates 1 and 2 in simulation. A single TRON1 chassis easily supports 25 to 40 students per semester.
Standard student laptops or lab desktops with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage are sufficient for SDK, ROS 2 and Gazebo modules. For Tier 2 reinforcement learning policy training, your department requires at least one dedicated workstation equipped with an NVIDIA RTX GPU (12 GB+ VRAM) running NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab.
No prior kinematics or physical robotics experience is needed. Tier 1 starts from first power-on, Linux fundamentals and basic ROS 2 publish-subscribe loops. Tiers 2 and 3 build systematically toward advanced reinforcement learning, sensor fusion, computer vision, local LLM inference and SLAM.
Collie provides official global university distribution with certified customs handling across Southeast Asia, North America, Europe, Australia and the Middle East. On-site faculty training is conducted by bilingual robotics engineers, backed by rapid hardware swap logistics from Singapore and regional hubs.
