Founded in September 2024 in Shenzhen, China, Lumos Robotics is a developer of embodied intelligent robots for household and industrial applications. The company was established by founder Yu Chao, a graduate of Tsinghua University with extensive experience in robotics research and development, including leading the humanoid robotics division at Dreame Technology. The founding team also includes Dr. Cao Junliang as CTO and alumni from prominent universities, with some members having previously worked at Dreame's MagicLab.
Lumos Robotics develops and sells a range of products including full-size humanoid robots, artificial intelligence algorithms, and related software systems. Its core product lines feature the LUS and MOS humanoid robot series, alongside key components like joint modules and visuotactile sensors. The company's flagship models, LUS1 and Lus2, are engineered for high agility and resilience in unstructured environments. A key technological differentiator is the integration of tactile sensing with vision and large models, allowing the robots to interact with the physical world with greater precision. Its proprietary LUX-G gripper is reported to have sensitivity comparable to a human fingertip. The robots utilize an 'embodied brain' system built on a proprietary architecture that processes multimodal data to execute complex tasks through end-to-end imitation learning.
The company's business model encompasses the entire technology stack, from AI software frameworks to hardware components like actuators and sensors. Lumos Robotics targets several markets, including logistics, smart manufacturing, healthcare, and high-risk sectors such as disaster response. Strategic partnerships have been formed with companies like Damon Technology and COSCO Shipping to deploy its embodied AI solutions and co-develop components for logistics and industrial automation. Since its inception, Lumos Robotics has secured nearly RMB 200 million (approximately USD 28 million) in angel-stage funding from investors including Innoangel Fund, SenseCapital, Plum Ventures, Fosun RZ Capital, and Damon Technology.
