Overview
The Mornine M1 is the flagship humanoid from AiMOGA Robotics, the embodied-intelligence affiliate of Chery, China’s largest auto exporter (Chery holds ~77%). Incubated in January 2025, AiMOGA became the first automaker-backed company to sell a humanoid directly to consumers: the M1 listed on JD.com on April 13, 2026 at RMB 285,800 (~$41,400), with deliveries from late May 2026. It is CE-certified for the EU market.
Where has AiMOGA Mornine M1 been deployed?
Over 3,000 robots delivered globally (2,000 overseas), operating in 60+ countries — initially in Chery dealerships, expanding to retail, reception, and public service. In 2026 AiMOGA deployed 110 humanoid police robots across multiple Chinese cities for traffic management, crowd guidance, and public-safety campaigns. Target: 10,000 deliveries globally in 2027. The company is preparing an IPO (Reuters, Aug 2026), though AiMOGA states no substantive steps have been taken yet.
What can AiMOGA Mornine M1 do?
Dual-arm coordinated operation, autonomous car-door opening, VR-helmet remote operation, ±5 cm navigation accuracy, multilingual interaction (11 languages).
Sensor suite:
- 1x 3D LiDAR
- 2x depth cameras
- 1x wide-angle camera
- 4x ultrasonic sensors
Why does AiMOGA Mornine M1 matter?
Sales, reception, training, and public-service roles — not industrial labor. Specs reflect this: 1.5 kg per-arm payload and 1 m/s walking speed rule out factory work, but the M1’s distribution machine (300+ signed distributors, Chery’s dealer + financing network, specialty stores, mall experience centers) is unmatched among humanoid makers. AiMOGA’s chief expects overseas demand strongest in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, with police/traffic roles suited to harsh-climate regions.
