Lumos Robotics MOS Dual Arm Humanoid Robot (MOS)

Most humanoid robots are built to walk. The Lumos Robotics MOS Dual Arm Humanoid Robot (MOS) is built to work: it rolls on an omnidirectional base, lifts with two human-like arms and stays on the floor where the pallets, workstations and production lines are. For plants that care more about moving loads than about copying a human gait, that is a practical difference.

Background

Lumos Robotics and the MOS lineage

Lumos Robotics has developed a portfolio of embodied robotics. It includes the full-size bipedal humanoid Lumos LUS, the AI-powered mini humanoid Lumos NIX, the wheeled-legged robot Lumos LUD and the heavy-duty wheeled dual-arm robot Lumos MOS. Each machine in the family targets a different kind of work, and MOS is the one aimed at carrying, handling and inspecting in industrial settings.

The sources name two versions, MOS 1 and MOS 2. The detailed figures available to us describe MOS 2, and every number in this article stays with that version. We do not give MOS 2 figures to MOS 1, or the other way around.

Positioning and key technology

MOS 2 is a heavy-duty wheeled mobile manipulation robot for real industrial tasks: heavy-load handling, teleoperation in hazardous environments and flexible inspection. Its hardware combines high-payload dual arms, an omnidirectional mobile base, hot-swappable endurance, 275 TOPS of edge compute and an open development ecosystem.

The arms are seven-DoF, human-like arms. A quick-swap design at the end of each arm supports dexterous hands and multiple tools, so one platform can move from transport to fine manipulation to special-purpose work. The compute core is an NVIDIA Orin AGX rated at 275TOPS, which keeps perception and planning on the robot itself.

MOS 2 has already been deployed on Mitsubishi Electric's core PLC production lines. There it performs flexible PLC quality inspection, box pushing, screwdriving and material handling. That is a mix of heavy and delicate tasks on a live line, which is the kind of work this platform is meant for.

What makes MOS different from a bipedal humanoid?

A bipedal humanoid spends much of its engineering effort on balance. That is impressive, but it is not always what a factory needs. MOS puts that effort elsewhere. The wheeled, omnidirectional base lets it move in any direction across a flat floor, and the chassis carries the weight so that the arms can concentrate on the load.

The numbers show where the priorities lie. The arms are rated for 30 kg across both arms, with a maximum of 50 kg, and the joints reach a maximum torque of 380 N·m. The robot stands 1650 mm tall, a height that suits workstations and shelving built for people. The base measures 735 * 700 * 300 mm, and travel speed is up to 1.5 m/s.

Buyers who want a walking machine for research or demonstration work should look at the full-size Lumos Robotics LUS2 Full Size Humanoid Robot or the wider Bipedal Humanoids category. Buyers whose job is to lift, push, screw and inspect will find the wheeled platform a more direct answer.

How does MOS stay productive through a shift?

Downtime is the quiet cost of most mobile robots. MOS 2 addresses it with a dual 19.5 Ah battery system. The batteries are quick-release and hot-swappable, so a depleted pack can be exchanged without taking the robot out of service for a long charge. When the robot is free to recharge, automatic dock charging brings it back to a station without an operator. Runtime is ≥8 h.

Safety is built around the same idea of continuous work near people. The robot carries up to 3 × 3D LiDAR units and a full safety-edge wrap around the chassis, and both arms have 6-axis force sensors as standard. Two onboard emergency-stop buttons give a passive hardware stop, and each unit includes a wireless e-stop key. Connectivity covers Wi-Fi, 5G and Ethernet, so the robot can sit on a plant network or work over a mobile link.

For teams that want to shape the robot to their own process, MOS 2 supports SDK development and graphical task orchestration. Operators can compose tasks visually, and developers can go deeper with the SDK. The operating range is 0–45°C and 20%–80% humidity, which describes indoor industrial conditions rather than outdoor weather.

Who is MOS for?

Manufacturers with repetitive, heavy or awkward handling at fixed stations are the clearest fit. The Mitsubishi Electric PLC lines show the pattern: inspection, box pushing, screwdriving and material handling combined on a single robot.

Logistics and warehouse operators can use the same platform for transfers between workstations, where the 30 kg rated payload and the human-scale height matter. Teams who handle hazardous materials or work in unsafe areas can use it for teleoperation, keeping people out of harm's way.

Integrators and research groups are a third segment. The open development ecosystem, the SDK and the 275 TOPS of edge compute give them room to build their own applications. Anyone who needs a robot that walks should compare it with the LUS2, and those who only need a manipulator without a mobile base can browse Robot Arms.

What is MOS used for?

1. Heavy-load handling. Moves loads up to the 50 kg maximum across both arms between stations.
2. Hazardous-environment teleoperation. Lets an operator work remotely where people should not be.
3. Flexible inspection. Checks parts and products, as in the PLC quality inspection on Mitsubishi Electric's lines.
4. Screwdriving. Fastens components using swappable end tools on the seven-DoF arms.
5. Box pushing and material handling. Shifts cartons and materials along a production line.
6. Custom application development. Uses the SDK and graphical task orchestration to build new workflows.

No. MOS 2 is a wheeled mobile manipulation robot with an omnidirectional base and two arms. Walking humanoids are in the bipedal category.

How much can MOS lift?

MOS 2 has a rated payload of 30 kg and a maximum payload of 50 kg across both arms.

How long does it run on a battery?

Runtime is ≥8 h. The dual 19.5 Ah batteries are hot-swappable, and the robot also supports automatic dock charging.

Can I program it for my own tasks?

Yes. MOS 2 supports SDK development and graphical task orchestration, and its NVIDIA Orin AGX provides 275TOPS of edge compute.

What safety features does it have?

You can buy it through this page by requesting a quotation. We do not list a price here; the offer is prepared once we know your application and quantity.

Summary

The Lumos Robotics MOS Dual Arm Humanoid Robot (MOS) makes a simple argument: when the work is on the floor, wheels beat legs. MOS 2 pairs a 1650 mm body and seven-DoF arms with a 30 kg rated payload, hot-swappable batteries and a layered safety system, and it has already worked on Mitsubishi Electric's PLC lines. For buyers in industry, logistics or hazardous-site work who want a robot that does real handling, this page is the starting point.
