A New Era of Adaptive Robotics
China’s GAC Group has introduced GoMate, a groundbreaking humanoid robot with artificial intelligence. Unlike conventional robots, GoMate can seamlessly transition between bipedal (up to 1.75 m tall) and quadrupedal (up to 1.4 m tall) modes. This unique design enhances its adaptability and reduces energy consumption by over 80% compared to similar models.
With 38 degrees of freedom and solid-state batteries, GoMate offers up to six hours of continuous operation on a single charge. GAC aims to use this robot for applications ranging from security and healthcare to logistics and education.
Bridging the Gap Between Development and Industry
Currently in its third generation, GoMate showcases advanced features such as autonomous navigation, movement control, and decision-making. By 2025, GAC plans to pilot GoMate in various sectors, with small-scale production starting in 2026. Initially, the robot will perform inspection tasks on GAC’s production lines, further streamlining manufacturing processes.
A Rising Trend in Humanoid Robotics
Chinese automakers are increasingly investing in humanoid robots. Companies like BYD, UBTech, and Xpeng are pioneering robotic solutions for industries. UBTech’s robots are operational on Nio assembly lines, while Xpeng’s Iron robot is already making a mark in industrial automation. GAC’s GoMate is part of this growing trend, bringing innovation to multiple sectors.
As the launch of mass production approaches, GAC continues to position itself at the forefront of robotic advancements, reshaping the possibilities of AI-driven humanoids.
