Pittsburgh – September 30, 2026 -- LumiBot, a robotics startup founded just over a year ago and known in China as Shiyue Technology, unveiled a full stack of finger-shaped visuo-tactile sensors, dexterous hand hardware and manipulation foundation models at IROS 2026, where it was also selected to present at the conference's official Startup Session.
