Chery Automobile’s robotics affiliate AiMOGA Robotics is preparing for an initial public offering as part of a broader push to expand its global footprint in humanoid robotics. The company, in which Chery holds nearly 77% through its subsidiary Chery International, confirmed plans to list on an overseas exchange, according to Zhang Guibing, president of Chery International and head of AiMOGA.
AiMOGA has already delivered more than 3,000 robots globally, with 2,000 deployed outside China across more than 60 countries and regions. The company aims to increase annual deliveries to 10,000 units next year, with a focus on scaling humanoid robot production. Earlier this year, AiMOGA unveiled humanoid police robots, with 110 units already operational in multiple Chinese cities.
Zhang stated that the company is in discussions with several potential listing locations and has initiated preparatory steps for an IPO. He emphasized that a public listing would enhance governance, transparency, and operational standards. AiMOGA’s IPO plans were first disclosed at the World Robot Conference in Beijing, where the company highlighted its ambitions to serve global markets.
However, Zhang cautioned that competition in the robotics sector, particularly on cost, is expected to intensify. He also noted that expanding into the U.S. market would require adapting to local regulations and customer needs, with Chery considering an entry at a suitable time. Zhang further projected that humanoid robots could take about a decade to mature before seeing rapid adoption.
AiMOGA was incubated by Chery in January 2025 and has since expanded from its initial bipedal humanoid robot deployments in Chery dealerships to broader public-service applications, including traffic management, crowd guidance, and public-safety awareness campaigns. The company’s IPO announcement follows recent market activity in the robotics sector, including the nearly six-fold surge in Unitree’s Shanghai trading debut.
AiMOGA stated in a release the Friday prior to the report that it had not taken any substantive steps toward an IPO at this stage.
