GoMate Mini
AI ChatLast updated:
GoMate Mini is the fourth-generation wheel-legged humanoid robot from GAC Group, developed by its robotics startup Huilun Technology. It is a full-size robot, about 1.7 m tall when standing, with 27 degrees of freedom, and it changes shape between three modes: folded for carrying, four-wheel for stable travel, and two-wheel standing for working at height. GAC first showed it at the Guangzhou International Auto Show in November 2025 and gave it a public debut with its three-fold design at the 2026 World Robot Conference. It can right itself after a fall, runs for more than 8 hours on its battery, can recharge through its arm while still working, and was shown passing a live water-spray test. Users can fit two-, three- or five-finger hands depending on the job. GAC says nearly 50 units already work in Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Xiamen and Tianjin, on car production lines, campus security patrols, guided tours and subway security assistance, with the longest single deployment lasting 12 months.
