Startup Spotlight | luwu: Unlocking the Future of AI and Intelligent Robotics for Young Teenagers

Fourteen years ago, a small group of makers gathered in Shenzhen with a shared dream: to build a space where ideas could leap from sketches to reality. This year, that dream grows bigger as Maker Faire Shenzhen 2025 comes — and it’s bringing AI along for the next chapter.​

Last year, makers poured their hearts into projects: AI cameras, chatbots, AI-dogs and other fascinating projects all left deep impressions on us — and everyone told a story of courage and creativity. This year, with “AI and More Things”, we’re thrilled to welcome more fantastic startup exhibitors joining MFSZ 2025, ready to write the next part together.

Today, let’s introduce our startup exhibitors luwu dynamics — (Booth number: B16)

Founded in November 2020, luwu dynamics specializes in desktop quadruped and wheeled robot technologies. The team, from Harbin Institute of Technology, has won multiple prestigious awards, including the ICRA DJI AI Challenge and National Robotics Competitions.

Their XGO series robots, successfully funded on Kickstarter, serve as educational tools for teaching kids robotics, electronics, and programming. With integrated AI features, these products have received global praise from enthusiasts and developers alike.

1.XGO-mini2

The XGO-mini2 is a 12-degree-of-freedom desktop AI robotic dog, equipped with a mechanical arm and end-effector claw. Powered by a Raspberry Pi CM4 module for AI edge computing, it features 4.5KG.CM all-metal magnetic encoder servo motors for joint control, enabling omnidirectional movement, six-dimensional posture control, stability, various motion gaits, and gripping tasks. It includes IMU, joint position sensors, and current sensors for posture, joint angle, and torque feedback, supporting both internal algorithms and custom development.

2.XGO-Rider

The XGO-Rider is a desktop dual-wheel robot development platform based on Raspberry Pi, powered by a Raspberry Pi CM4 module for AI edge computing. It uses 4.5KG.CM all-metal magnetic encoder servo motors for joint control and FOC hub motors for the wheels, enabling omnidirectional movement, posture stability, multi-mode motion, and image/voice interaction. It includes an IMU for internal algorithms and custom development, supporting both Python and ROS programming.

At this year’s exhibition, luwu dynamics will be showcasing a mystery guest. If you’re intersted, feel free to visit and engage in a deeper conversation with the team!

Over the past 12 years, the development trajectory of Maker Faire Shenzhen can be seen as a microcosm of the development of maker culture in China.

  • 2012: “Gathering Small Wisdom, Journeying through the Great Future” – This was the first Mini Maker Faire in China, with less than 1000 attendees, and was more like a gathering within a small circle. But we saw the infinite possibilities emerging from the maker community.
  • 2013: The slogan was absent, and the maker community was still small. – In the OCT Creative Park, there were cross-disciplinary exchanges among different creative communities, silently laying the foundation for cultural output.
  • 2014: “Innovate with China” – the event was upgraded to the Featured level for the first time, with a significant increase in scale compared to previous years, and the beginning of professional independent forums. This year, makers began to enter the public’s view.
  • 2015: “Everyone is a Maker, what are you waiting for?” – This year’s Shenzhen International Maker Week became one of the largest Maker Faires in the world. This year, the concept of “maker” was elevated to a national level, and the trend of “mass innovation, mass entrepreneurship” swept across the country.
  • 2016: “My World, My Creation” – As the sub-venue of the National Innovation and Entrepreneurship Week, the event was held for the first time in the commercial center area, experiencing unpredictable weather from typhoons to scorching heat. Many makers succeeded in your entrepreneurial endeavors this year, but it seemed like there were even more failures. The hype around entrepreneurship shifted towards rationality.
  • 2017: “Makers, Go Pro” – The event took place at the university campus for the first time, focusing on Maker Pros and providing a platform for diverse innovators and makers to showcase themselves, presenting more possibilities for the growth path of makers to the entire community.
  • 2018: “Co-making in the City” – The main venue of Shenzhen International Maker Week, where individuals and groups with shared visions and values gathered to showcase stories, projects, and explorations of collaboration among different communities and people.
  • 2019: ” To the Heart of Community, To the Cluster of Industry” – The event was upgraded to the Maker Faire Shenzhen, attempting to attract professional audiences and focusing on pragmatic aspects such as solving the needs of industrial upgrading and co-developin. It aims to build a platform for innovation and industry dialogue and collaboration.
  • 2023: “Where Are The Makers?”– Starting from our own mission and values, we aim to explore the future direction of makers and theapossibilities for commercialization. Though this question does not have a definitive answer, we do hope that through this event, we can communicate and share with every one of you, finding more ideas and directions together.
  • 2024: “Enchant Everything With AI” – This year, we brought together over 120 exhibitors from around the world, attracting nearly 1,500 professional attendees from nearly 20 countries and over 20 provinces across China. The exhibition showcased a wide range of AI application projects and hosted 10 AI hardware-themed satellite events, alongside various workshops.
