About LOMBY
LOMBY develops the LM-A autonomous delivery robot and the software and operating systems used to run neighbourhood delivery fleets. LM-A combines autonomous driving with remote support for short-distance routes between stores, facilities and residential destinations, including night-time operation and handoff through customer-facing delivery workflows.
Founded in Tokyo in 2022, the company is moving from pilots toward repeatable production and concentrated fleet deployment. Its September 2026 Series A supports LM-A manufacturing, component procurement, remote-monitoring capacity and deployments in several Japanese locations. LOMBY is also deepening work with 7-Eleven Japan while developing LM-T for factories and LM-P personal mobility on the same platform.
