POLICE ROBOTS
China's robotics industry has become a new battleground in the Sino-U.S. technology rivalry, drawing investment from automakers and technology firms betting that advances in
AI and autonomous systems will speed the commercial adoption of humanoid robots.
Companies are racing to find viable applications beyond factories, from retail and customer service to policing and public safety.
Incubated by Chery in January 2025, AiMOGA has delivered more than 3,000 robots globally, with 2,000 overseas, and operates in more than 60 countries and regions.
The company aims to deliver 10,000 robots globally next year and eventually aims to rank among the "world's top" robotics firms, Zhang said.
Earlier this year, AiMOGA unveiled humanoid police robots, with 110 units already deployed across multiple Chinese cities to assist with traffic management, crowd guidance and public-safety awareness campaigns.
Zhang said the company identified traffic management as a promising application after finding that traffic police often work in harsh conditions — exposed to extreme weather, air pollution from vehicle emissions and a higher risk of accidents.
