LimX’s new humanoid is named “Luna,” and the company staged a red‑carpet style reveal for the robot at the Taobao Influencer Festival on March 26, 2026.

(mikekalil.com) Multiple outlets framed the Taobao debut as a deliberate shift from lab‑centric demos to lifestyle and retail showcases, positioning the reveal as a consumer‑facing marketing play rather than a technical conference reveal. (robohorizon.com) LimX has been ramping commercialization: the company reportedly closed a $200 million Series B in early February 2026 to fund scale‑up and go‑to‑market activities. (chinatechpulse.com) Shortly before the festival, LimX posted footage of 18 Oli humanoid units autonomously emerging from shipping crates and performing a coordinated routine, material the company used to argue for practical deployment and logistics scalability.
