I took the Tron 1 for a spin earlier this year at CES, but out of the box its capabilities were largely limited to pre-programmed movements and remote control operation. Driving the robot around a hotel room in Las Vegas was a lot of fun, but I hadn’t even scratched the surface of what the robot was capable of yet.

LimX Dynamics shared some videos of the Tron 1 being operated in real-world scenarios: as a tour guide, a delivery robot, and even a street photographer.

These demos show what developers can program a robot like Tron 1 to do. Time will tell what other capabilities are unlocked in this and other robots.
