Overview

The Lumos Ego is a head-mounted egocentric multimodal data-collection device designed for capturing training data for manipulation learning. It integrates a wide-angle fisheye camera, high-precision SLAM, hand-joint tracking, and multimodal synchronization. It tracks more than 42 hand-joint keypoints across both hands and provides microsecond-level hardware timestamp alignment across RGB, ToF, SLAM pose, and IMU streams. The device weighs only 235g and supports a wide 20° to 180° viewing adjustment range. It natively supports Ubuntu 20.04 and ROS/ROS2. The STD version includes ToF depth sensing while the Lite version does not.

Lumos Robotics Launches NexCore to Cut Robotic Skill Development from Weeks to Days

News about Lumos Robotics, the maker — not about this robot specifically, except rows marked this robot. Collected and classified independently across 10 outlets, so a maker cannot add to it. It never changes this robot's RoboScore — the evidence half of the RoboIndex — and it can move it up a board by at most 15 points. See all Lumos Robotics news
