EXCLUSIVE: Chery's robot unit eyes IPO, targets overseas market for police robots

Chery’s robotics unit, AiMOGA Robotics, is preparing for an IPO to fund growth and investment as competition rises in China’s fast-growing humanoid robot sector, its chief said Aug 19 in Beijing. The company is discussing potential listing venues and expects to sharply increase humanoid deliveries next year. Chery’s president of Chery International, Zhang Guibing, said an IPO could support future technology spending and improve governance, transparency and operational standards, but he gave no timeline or location. AiMOGA, incubated by Chery in January 2025, has delivered more than 3,000 robots globally (2,000 overseas) and operates in over 60 countries and regions. It already deployed 110 humanoid police robots across multiple Chinese cities.
