About Lumos Robotics
Lumos Robotics develops embodied-intelligence models, robot hardware and data systems for industrial deployment.
Its portfolio combines Prime foundation models with LUS humanoid platforms, NIX robots, MOS mobile manipulators, Touch teleoperation hardware, FastUMI data-collection devices and motors. A commercial data market also supplies training data. These layers connect demonstration capture, model training, evaluation and physical execution, while task reliability and safety remain dependent on the chosen robot and operating environment.
