Overview

The MOS 2 is the industrial model from Shenzhen-based manufacturer Lumos Robotics and was unveiled on August 14, 2026. Unlike the humanoid LUS models from the same company, it forgoes legs and any demonstration capability. Lumos describes it as a work machine for three application areas: heavy transport, quality inspection work in manufacturing, and operations in environments where you'd rather not send humans.

Design

With a height of 165 centimeters and weighing up to 350 kilograms, the MOS 2 is a heavyweight. The chassis measures 73.5 by 70 centimeters and features steerable wheels that allow the robot to move in any direction and even diagonally—a valuable feature in tight factory aisles. Materials include plastic, aluminum alloy, and cast iron. Above the chassis sits a lifting column with 750 millimeters of travel, allowing both seven-axis arms to work in a range from zero to two meters above the ground. Overall, the robot has 22 degrees of freedom, with a maximum joint torque of 380 Newton-meters. Both arms together can carry 30 kilograms in continuous operation and up to 50 kilograms at peak load. Instead of fixed hands, there's a standard flange for quick tool changes—grippers, tools, or dexterous hands can be swapped rapidly.

Technology and AI

Computation is handled by an NVIDIA Orin AGX with 275 TOPS, allowing models to run directly on the device rather than in the cloud. The package includes two 3D Lidar units in the chassis as standard, one camera at each wrist, a head camera, and two six-axis force-torque sensors, one per arm. The safety equipment is unusually comprehensive for a device in this class: a safety bumper around the chassis perimeter, two emergency stop buttons on the device, and a wireless emergency stop key included with each unit. Two batteries of 19.5 amp-hours each can be swapped during operation; alternatively, the robot can autonomously charge at a docking station. Lumos rates the runtime at over eight hours. Operation is possible via SDK, graphical task planning, or remotely with a VR headset.

Market Significance

Lumos Robotics was only founded in September 2024, but has had Mitsubishi Electric as an industrial lead investor since May 2026, with initial deployments underway on the partner's control system production lines. The MOS 2 exemplifies a trend currently defining the entire Chinese robotics industry: in manufacturing, wheels are winning out over legs because they're cheaper, more stable, and simply better suited for payload capacity. The manufacturer does not provide a list price; distribution is handled by request.
