Current platform

Lumi

Interactive social humanoid, 4 ft 2 in tall, built on a Unitree G1 body (Chinese platform) with Lightberry's own onboard computer (NVIDIA Jetson Thor), custom sensors and software. Lightberry lists a Founder Edition at $39,990 and says it ships in 2026. On 2026-10-30 Lightberry announced that the U.S. Department of War granted Lumi a Conditional Approval, which Lightberry says exempts it from the FCC Covered List for foreign-produced advanced robotic devices; Lightberry says the approval is tied to replacing the robot's sensors, onboard computer and software and to a plan to manufacture in the U.S. starting with the body, head and hands. The approval claim comes from Lightberry's own press release, which cites FCC Public Notice DA 26-1181; the notice itself has not been independently checked.
