Chery's AiMOGA opens Mobo home humanoid pre-orders Oct 21: 22 DoF, no price yet

AiMOGA Robotics, the robotics brand of Chinese carmaker Chery, will unveil Mobo, its first consumer humanoid for family companionship, in Wuhu on Oct 21 and open global pre-orders the same day, the company said in a GlobeNewswire press release dated Oct 17.

A parallel release from Chery's OMODA & JAECOO brand says Mobo has a 22-degree-of-freedom full-body motion system, autonomous navigation with obstacle avoidance, voice interaction, object recognition, schedule reminders and long-term memory of each family member's habits, run by AiMOGA's in-house MoAgent system that breaks down instructions into multi-step tasks.

Neither release gives a price, a delivery date or the countries where pre-orders open. AiMOGA says it runs 31 in-house R&D labs and reuses cockpit and driver-assistance technology from Chery's cars, and that its robots, including the Mornine humanoid presenter, a traffic-police robot, a hospital guide robot and the Argos quadruped, have passed 3,000 cumulative deliveries in more than 60 countries and regions; those robots will be shown at Chery's Global Technology Innovation Center from Oct 19 to 23.

Mobo enters a home market that is still about cleaning machines: MEKAWIRE's Oct 17 consumer-robot explainer found that consumer service robots sold about 34.2 million units in 2025 by IFR count, led by China's Roborock and Ecovacs.
