Shenzhen embodied-AI firm (est. 2024) making LUS biped and MOS wheeled dual-arm robots plus FastUMI robot-free data capture; A-round led by Mitsubishi Electric.
Lumos Robotics is a Chinese embodied-AI company, founded in September 2024, that builds humanoid and mobile manipulation robots for factory work together with the data-collection hardware and models used to train them. Its founder and chief executive, Yu Chao, holds bachelor's and master's degrees from Tsinghua University; he previously led software and algorithms at Shanghai Lingxian Robotics, led development and mass production of Xiaomi's CyberDog quadruped, and was general manager of MagicLab. The company lists offices in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, and Wuzhong District, Suzhou.
Its robot line covers four body types. LUS 2 is a 160 cm, 57 kg full-size biped with 28 joint modules, up to 360 N-m joint torque, 7-DoF arms carrying 3 kg each and an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin; the company says it can stand up from the floor in one second. MOS 2 is a heavy-duty wheeled dual-arm robot on a swerve-drive base, with a 30 kg rated and 50 kg peak dual-arm payload, 6-axis force sensors on both arms, hot-swappable LiFePO4 batteries for at least 8 hours and VR teleoperation for hazardous tasks. LUD is a wheeled-legged platform carrying 50 kg at up to 8 m/s on wheels, and NIX is an 89 cm mini biped for performance and hospitality. The company also sells its own planetary joint modules (up to 380 N-m) and a 6-DoF desktop arm, Touch R1.
A second business is training data. FastUMI Pro is a handheld gripper that records manipulation demonstrations without a robot, FastUMI Go is a backpack workstation for mobile capture, and Ego is a head-mounted egocentric camera with hand tracking. In 2026 Lumos opened a robot-free data collection centre and a UMI data marketplace. Its NexCore engine trains world models jointly with vision-language-action models, and its Prime R0 model topped the MolmoSpaces zero-shot benchmark in June 2026.
Industrial partners include Mitsubishi Electric, which began quality-inspection and assembly trials in its Chinese factories in 2025, COSCO SHIPPING (Qingdao), Damon Technology, Guangyun Group and, from July 2026, JD. Mitsubishi Electric led both the A1 and A2 rounds in May 2026, bringing cumulative funding to about RMB 1 billion.
