On July 24, 2025, Suzhou Wuzhong Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park witnessed important cooperation in the field of embodied intelligence-Lumos Luming Robot and Mitsubishi Electric Intelligent Manufacturing officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two parties will carry out in-depth collaboration around six major directions such as technology integration, demonstration line co-construction, and global market expansion, and work together to promote the large-scale implementation of humanoid robots in industrial scenarios.
As a new embodied intelligence rookie that has only been established for one year, Luming Robot has built the LUS/MOS series of humanoid robots and core components products with the technical accumulation of bionic algorithms, lightweight joint modules and scenario-based solutions, and established ecological cooperation with leading companies such as Dema Technology and COSCO Shipping. The cooperation with Mitsubishi Electric will focus on integrating its century-old technology accumulation in servo systems and industrial Internet of Things (e-F@ctory), set up joint laboratories in Suzhou and Shanghai, tackle key technologies such as high-precision motion control and multi-machine collaboration, and simultaneously formulate a roadmap for the application of smart factory robots.
"This is a key step for embodied intelligence to move from the laboratory to the production line." Yu Chao, founder of Luming Robot, said that the two parties will jointly build demonstration production lines in scenarios such as 3C electronics and automobile manufacturing, and achieve seamless connection between humanoid robots and existing production lines through flexible solutions compatible with Mitsubishi Electric's industrial protocols. Zhang Wei, senior president of Mitsubishi Electric Intelligent Manufacturing, revealed that the global supply chain resources will be opened to support Luming products to access the international market through the e-F@ctory system, with the goal of creating 10 industry benchmark cases within 3 years.
This cooperation not only marks the first time that domestic humanoid robots have been deeply bound with international industrial giants, but also provides a new paradigm for the flexible upgrading of the manufacturing industry through the full-chain collaboration of "algorithm + hardware + scenario". As the first collaborative robot jointly developed by the two parties is expected to go into mass production in 2026, China's intelligent manufacturing is accelerating from "machines replacing people" to a new stage of "human-machine integration".
