Welcome, Gento Luna!

Gento Luna is a wheeled humanoid robot from Gento Robotics, combining a humanlike upper body with an omnidirectional mobile base. Its folding structure reduces its height from 170 cm to 79 cm, providing a compact configuration for storage and movement through constrained spaces. The robot weighs 90 kg and has 26 degrees of freedom excluding its hands. Each arm has seven degrees of freedom and a listed lifting capacity of 6 kg, while two finger gripping claws provide its grasping interface. Force controlled electric joints extend through the arms, waist and legs, with compliant impedance control and active protection against tipping. An NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin with 64 GB of memory supplies 275 TOPS of onboard computing performance. Listed maximum speed is 5 km/h, and runtime ranges from four to eight hours. Its overall skill score of 3 out of 10 places Luna in the developing category, with navigation rated 1 out of 5 and manipulation rated 2 out of 5.

Luna’s listed capabilities include obstacle avoidance, sorting goods and folding clothes. For obstacle avoidance, its 3D LiDAR navigation and real time obstacle avoidance system support movement around surrounding objects. The omnidirectional base provides a mobile platform for positioning the upper body during these activities. Sorting goods draws on the robot’s articulated arms and gripping claws to handle and reposition objects. Folding clothes adds a fabric handling task to its manipulation repertoire. Full body force control and compliant impedance control are relevant technical features for managing physical contact during handling. These capabilities describe a focused set of navigation and manipulation functions rather than general mastery, consistent with Luna’s developing overall score and its lower category ratings.

Luna is listed as a prototype, with a displayed price of USD 40,000 and an inquiry option for pricing discussions. Gento Robotics is a Chinese manufacturer, and the robot’s stated target markets include commercial services, home service, industrial inspection, research and education. Those categories indicate intended application areas rather than proof of readiness for every task within them. Its broader significance lies in combining a folding body, wheeled mobility and force controlled manipulation within one platform. For prospective users, its prototype status and developing skill score are important context when considering the listed functions. The combination offers a concrete platform for evaluating obstacle avoidance, goods sorting and clothes folding in relevant settings.
