HUGE – so so so proud of the team for making this happen! While everyone’s busy polishing demos, we’re heads down shipping delightful robots you’ll want to be around. And now we can properly make this happen, before anyone else in the U.S.

Most robotics talks are about capability. This one is about character. Do Park (@alrightdo ), Head of Design at @lightberry, opens the Humanoid Hub Conference with "From Pixar to the Physical World: Designing the World's Most Interactive Humanoid." Tomorrow

San Francisco startup @lightberry has unveiled Lumi: a $40k social humanoid packing an 8-mic Brooklyn-built array, stereo vision, and NVIDIA Jetson Thor compute onto an upgraded Unitree chassis. We chatted with CEO @aliattar to unpack the split-brain architecture, $20k/year software economics, and navigating sweeping US import bans: humanoidsdaily.com/news/ligh…

Lumis get better with every new model update. Our proprietary robot brain architecture uses the best of closed models, open models, and proprietary models. We do the hard work of abstracting the R&D and engineering work for customers who just want to deploy an interactive robot. And we know that without Lightberry’s software and sensors, no robot can “work out of the box”. GPT-6 is out? New light-weight VLM? Boom your Lumi’s brain got an upgrade!
