December 19, 2025
Recently, LumosRobotics, a high-tech enterprise focusing on the field of embodied intelligence, announced the successful completion of two rounds of financing, Pre-A1 and Pre-A2, with a total financing amount reaching hundreds of millions of RMB. The Pre-A1 round was led by CDH Investments, with follow-on investments from Nanjing Innovation Investment Group, Jinjing Capital, and Jingu Co., Ltd. The Pre-A2 round was exclusively participated by Shenneng Chengyi Investment. The funds raised in this round will be mainly used for the iteration of embodied intelligence data collection technology, the R&D and upgrading of core hardware, as well as product ecosystem construction and the commercial implementation of high-value scenarios.

Since its establishment, LumosRobotics has taken "building an engine for data-driven physical world" as its vision and built full-stack independent R&D capabilities covering data, hardware, and algorithms. Relying on the world-leading FastUMI data collection technology, the company has achieved a breakthrough of three times higher efficiency and one-fifth lower cost compared with traditional solutions, reaching an industry-leading level with an accuracy of 1-3mm. It has completed 10,000 hours of real-machine data accumulation and base model training.
In the hardware field, the team has continued to innovate with ten years of technical accumulation and created the industry's first embodied dual-arm robot with a 50kg load capacity for both arms. Its independently developed full PEEK material cycloidal joint module has achieved a performance leap of 40% weight reduction and 60% torque density improvement. Currently, the company has launched three series of humanoid robots, namely LUS, MOS, and Lumos Junior, as well as diversified products such as data collection equipment and quadruped robots. These products have been successfully implemented in scenarios of leading customers such as COSCO Shipping and Mitsubishi of Japan, and have completed outstanding displays in important occasions such as the first World Humanoid Robot Games and the closing ceremony of the National Games. At the team level, core members are all from top universities and research institutions such as Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and the State University of New York. Core backbones including founder Yu Chao and CTO Cao Junliang have more than ten years of experience in embodied robot R&D and commercialization. The proportion of R&D personnel in the company exceeds 70%, including more than ten doctors, forming a "talent highland" in the field of embodied intelligence.
In the future, LumosRobotics will continue to deepen its research on core technologies of embodied intelligence, strengthen ecological cooperation with industrial partners, realize large-scale applications in high-value scenarios such as industrial quality inspection, logistics sorting, and high-end manufacturing, and strive to become a core infrastructure provider in the AI physical world.
