Humanoid Robots: The Automotive DNA of OMODA & JAECOO AiMOGA

In the era of deep integration of artificial intelligence and intelligent manufacturing, a global cross-industry layout by automotive enterprises is emerging. Since Tesla’s Optimus set off a technological storm, more than 20 leading global automakers have accelerated their entry into the humanoid robotics field. The AiMOGA robot developed by OMODA & JAECOO has attracted public attention and high industry focus through its appearances on global stages such as the Shanghai Auto Show and OMODA & JAECOO International Ecology Exhibition.

Why Are Automakers Actively Venturing into Humanoid Robots?

The automakers’ actively venturing into humanoid robots stems from technological homology and highly synergistic supply chains. Intelligent electric vehicles have been called Robots on Wheels, sharing technical homology with humanoid robots in areas such as autonomous driving environmental perception, human-computer interaction, and motion control. Automakers’ extensive expertise in Three-Electric technologies (batteries, electric motors and electronic controls), lightweight materials, sensors, machine vision, and artificial intelligence provide a solid foundation for humanoid robot R&D. Meanwhile, automotive manufacturing and humanoid robot production share significant overlap in their supply chain systems. Automakers can rely on their existing supplier networks to quickly obtain various components required for robot manufacturing, reducing procurement costs while shortening production cycles and achieving optimized resource allocation and efficient sharing. The dual advantage in technology and supply chain become the core driving forces behind automakers’ cross-industry layout in humanoid robotics.

The Automotive DNA in OMODA & JAECOO AiMOGA Robots

From the precise design of mechanical structures to human-centered breakthroughs in intelligent interaction, from accurate environmental perception to systematic development of ecological synergy, OMODA & JAECOO empowers robots with full-chain technologies, establishes a robust foundation for breaking through industry technical barriers and advancing innovative development.

Mechanical Structure

The mechanical structure is the core of a robot’s body. Chery, the parent company of OMODA & JAECOO, has drawn on its accumulated architectural design thinking (modularity), material engineering capabilities (lightweighting), and precision manufacturing systems (high precision) from the automotive field to provide a blueprint for robot mechanical structure design. This endows robots with not only Flexible Skeletons but also automotive-grade reliability, durability, and scenario adaptability. The current AiMOGA robot features a bionic mechanical architecture with 40 degrees of freedom, enabling joint-level fine control and human-like flexible movement. The highly integrated design of its components significantly reduces volume and weight, ensuring not only high motion precision and flexibility in control performance but also safe and stable operation in complex environments.

Battery Technology

Due to their complex structures and high motion energy consumption, humanoid robots place stringent demands on battery power systems. In terms of energy consumption, the advanced battery technology of Chery, the parent company of OMODA & JAECOO, provides strong support: The new solid-state battery technology has an energy density exceeding 600Wh/kg, offering significant advantages in safety and environmental adaptability compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries, and providing a stable and long-lasting power solution for AiMOGA robots. Also, the OMODA & JAECOO Super Hybrid technology SHS is equipped with a high-performance dedicated hybrid battery pack, which achieves outstanding safety through an all-around protection system and cutting-edge technology. It has undergone 12 stringent extreme tests, demonstrating excellent heat resistance, impact resistance, and waterproof performance, ensuring stable operation even in extreme environments. With the support of the battery management system, the 2-millisecond ultra-fast power-off protection can immediately cut off the high-voltage power supply at the moment of collision, fundamentally eliminating the hidden danger of thermal runaway.

Intelligent Driving Technologies

Environmental perception technology functions as the Eyes of robots. OMODA & JAECOO’s intelligent driving technologies like advanced driver assistance, offer technical reuse and data experience for robots. Leveraging multi-sensor fusion solutions and advanced algorithms for sensor data processing, it achieves navigation accuracy at the ±5 cm level (far exceeding the common ±20 cm level in China), enabling rapid target recognition, path planning, and enhanced environmental adaptability and autonomous operation capabilities in complex scenarios. The NEO CROSSOVER OMODO C7 is equipped with 19 intelligent driving assistance functions (ADAS), providing an extremely safe and tight protection for driving. Whether it’s intersection turning assistance or blind spot detection reminder, it all makes driving more calm and confident.

Voice Interaction Technology

Equipped with the Deepseek large model: OMODA & JAECOO AIMOGA Robots can rely on natural language processing technology to achieve semantic understanding, emotional analysis, and personalized responses, accurately recognizing user intentions through multi-modal interactions such as voice and gestures. This cutting-edge technology also extends to the OMODA & JAECOO vehicle infotainment system, bringing users a smarter and more convenient driving experience. Take the OMODA C7 as an example: its four-zone voice control function can accurately capture voice commands from passengers in different positions of the vehicle. Whether it is navigation settings from the driver or entertainment needs from rear passengers, it can respond quickly and process efficiently, avoiding command confusion, greatly improving the fluency and accuracy of in-vehicle interaction, and demonstrating OMODA & JAECOO’s in-depth exploration and innovative strength in the field of intelligent interaction.

Commercial Advancement from Scenario Pilots to Global Delivery

In February 2025, AiMOGA robots first launched application services at an OMODA C5 4S store in Malaysia. At the Shanghai Auto Show in April, they demonstrated multi-robot collaboration in 4S store scenarios, and in May, they began successive global market deliveries of 220 humanoid robots. These rapid commercialization moves benefit from OMODA & JAECOO’s vast automotive ecological scenarios and global business layout.

With the continuous improvement of the R&D matrix and the strengthening of technological barriers, the exploration of the AiMOGA robot in the field of intelligent services is in fact a microcosm of OMODA & JAECOO’s forward-looking layout. Relying on its profound automotive ecological scenarios and global strategy, OMODA & JAECOO is applying the innovative outcomes of intelligent services to ecological construction. In the future, taking technology as the bond, OMODA & JAECOO will accelerate the construction of a smart living system covering diverse scenarios. It will also continuously expand the development boundaries of futuristic and technological ecology, and bring smarter and more interconnected living experiences to its global users.
