The M1 humanoid robot can achieve dual-hand collaborative operation, autonomous car door opening, and VR remote operation, making it suitable for sales, reception, and training applications. Business expansion: Beyond online sales, Chery’s AiMoga robots are simultaneously expanding offline distribution. According to reports by Lanjinger, AiMoga held a China market investment conference last year and signed agreements with some dealers. AiMoga plans to focus on six core products this year, completing the first batch of domestic channel networks. To lower cooperation barriers, the company introduced sales, leasing, and instalment payment models, incorporated Chery Huishin Financial System for financial support, and built a “speciality stores + auto 4S stores + shopping mall experience stores” three-in-one channel structure. Industry Trend: Thanks to high technical overlap between automotive and robotics products, multiple automakers have recently expanded into the robotics field, moving toward mass production and application. Xpeng Chairman He Xiaopeng stated in March that Xpeng’s new generation Iron humanoid robot will achieve mass production by the end of 2026, with production base construction launched in Guangzhou in Q1 this year. The Iron is equipped with three Turing AI chips, with a second-generation VLA technology stack already operational on the robot. Monthly production capacity is targeted to reach over 1,000 units by year-end. GAC Chairman Feng Xingya announced on April 11 at the Intelligent Electric Vehicle Development High-level Forum that GAC will launch nine redesigned and all-new models this year, with embodied intelligent robots also approaching mass production. GAC’s self-developed third-generation embodied intelligent humanoid robot GoMate was introduced in 2025, with plans for batch production of self-developed components in 2025 and small-batch production of complete units in 2026. Market outlook: According to TrendForce’s latest humanoid robot in-depth research report, the global humanoid robot industry will enter a critical commercialisation period in the second half of 2026. Chinese manufacturers have clarified commercialisation targets and scenarios while actively increasing production, with an estimated 94% year-on-year growth in China’s humanoid robot market production for 2026. Unitree Robotics and Zhiyuan Robotics stand out through profitability and production progress, projected to capture nearly 80% of combined shipments.
