Author丨Ou Xue Editor丨Yuan Silai Hard Krypton has learned that Shiyue Technology (LumiBot), a provider of smart robot operation solutions, recently completed tens of millions of yuan in angel round financing. This round was led by Changzhou Zhilong Changyou Equity Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) (a fund under Changyou Technology), and was followed by two other funds under state-owned investment platforms. The funds will be mainly used for team expansion, product iteration and small batch production line construction, as well as smart operation data collection and model development. Shiyue Technology was established in early 2025 and focuses on providing smart operation solutions for high-precision scenarios such as industrial manufacturing and precision assembly. At present, the company has launched four product lines: Lumi-Dex series of high-degree-of-freedom dexterous hands, Lumi-Tac finger-type visual and tactile sensors, Lumi-Mind dexterous operation models and Lumi-Mod motor modules. In terms of the team, founder Wu Yuwen has led investments in many projects such as AI intelligent vision and coffee robots as an investor. Technical leader Song Kaiyou studied under Academician Xiong Youlun and Academician Yin Zhouping. He was a senior algorithm expert at Ant Group and led the multi-version model training of the Bailing multi-modal large model. Algorithm leader Chen Yifan came from Baidu’s autonomous driving team and led the implementation of China’s first purely visual high-end intelligent driving solution. Product leader Zhong Qiaoheng once founded the Smart Hand Company and achieved mass production. In the wave of embodied intelligence, dexterous hands are regarded as the “last centimeter” for robots to complete refined operations. Founder Wu Yuwen believes that dexterous hands are a bottleneck that cannot be avoided by robots, and it is also a track with huge value links. One of the core differences of Shiyue Technology lies in its self-developed Lumi-Tac finger-type visual and tactile sensor. Different from traditional array tactile sensors, this solution uses a micro camera to capture the gel surface deformation, modeling and decoupling multi-modal information such as force, texture, and slip, with 10 μm-level spatial resolution and 0.02N force control accuracy. Lumi-Tac visual and tactile sensor (picture source/enterprise) Wu Yuwen said to Hard Krypton: "Visual and tactile sensors are considered by the academic community as the future direction of dexterous hand perception, and its improvement in the success rate of operation has significantly improved.
