AiMOGA Robotics（墨甲机器人）, Chery’s（奇瑞）robotics brand, has scheduled the launch of Mobo（墨宝）, its first consumer-grade humanoid robot designed for home companionship, for October 21 in Wuhu. Global pre-orders are planned to open the same day, extending the brand’s product offering from commercial services into household applications.
The launch forms part of the 2026 Chery International User Summit, running from October 19 to 23. Mobo was also displayed during Chery’s broader technology showcase, but its dedicated launch and planned pre-order opening are separate from the October 20 Global Innovation Conference.
According to AiMOGA, Mobo offers voice interaction, visual object recognition, schedule reminders and long-term memory. The company positions these capabilities around conversation, companionship and everyday family routines, including learning activities for children. These remain company-described functions rather than evidence of sustained performance in customers’ homes.
An earlier announcement said Mobo uses AiMOGA’s MoAgent system to interpret instructions, divide them into steps and plan tasks. The company also describes navigation and obstacle-avoidance capabilities intended to help the robot operate in changing home environments.
The product draws on Chery’s wider engineering and manufacturing resources. AiMOGA says it combines perception and interaction technologies developed in the automotive sector with robot motion control and decision-making, supported by automotive supply-chain and quality-management experience.
Those resources provide a development foundation, but they do not establish Mobo’s production cost, retail affordability or readiness for delivery at scale. The announcements reviewed did not specify a retail price, deposit requirement, delivery schedule or country-by-country availability.
For overseas expansion, global pre-orders provide a means of testing customer interest. They should be distinguished from confirmed international sales, completed product approvals and deliveries. Chery’s automotive network may offer potential support, but the announcements do not establish that its dealers will sell or maintain Mobo.
The commercial challenge is also different from demonstrating a robot at an exhibition. Households will assess usefulness, reliability, maintenance and the quality of interaction over repeated use. Navigation around people and objects, handling of household information and access to support will influence whether customers continue using the product.
Mobo’s launch therefore marks a move toward consumer robotics rather than proof of a mass market. The next meaningful indicators will be purchase terms, delivery availability, actual shipments and customer experience after installation.
