Chery’s AiMOGA Robotics Targets a 2027 IPO and 10,000 Global Robot Deliveries

AiMOGA Robotics, Chery Automobile’s robotics affiliate, is preparing for a possible standalone IPO as it seeks funding for technology investment and international expansion. The company has not announced a listing date, exchange, or firm commitment to go public, making the plan exploratory rather than a scheduled transaction. 16

Its near-term strategy is pragmatic: use Chery’s automotive engineering, manufacturing, supply-chain, and international distribution capabilities to scale robots for defined commercial and public-service roles before broader humanoid adoption matures. 6

AiMOGA’s current position

AiMOGA is a Chery-backed robotics business, not an already independent public company. The unit was incubated by Chery in January 2025, according to reporting on the company’s development. 6

AiMOGA says it has delivered more than 3,000 robots worldwide, including about 2,000 outside China, and operates across more than 60 countries and regions. 67 Its stated target is 10,000 global robot deliveries next year—equivalent to 2027 based on the August 2026 reporting date. 1

That goal would represent a significant increase from its reported delivery base. It also suggests that AiMOGA’s growth plan is likely to rely initially on repeatable applications and existing industrial capabilities, rather than on fully general-purpose humanoid robots.

Why AiMOGA is considering an IPO

Management says a listing could help finance future growth and technology investment. It could also provide a more formal governance and transparency structure as the robotics operation grows, although the supplied reporting does not establish the terms or structure of any potential offering. 168

AiMOGA is discussing possible listing venues, but no exchange or timetable has been disclosed. Investors should therefore treat headlines about an “AiMOGA IPO” as preparations for a potential offering—not evidence that a filing, pricing process, or listing date exists. 16

Overseas expansion: police, service, and companion robots

AiMOGA’s international push is expected to cover more than humanoid police robots. The company is also pursuing overseas opportunities for service and companion robots, with management identifying the Middle East and Southeast Asia as regions where demand could be particularly strong. 1

The supplied sources do not establish a U.S. launch timeline, named customers, or product approvals. Any U.S. expansion would need to be assessed separately against local regulations and demonstrated customer demand rather than assumed from AiMOGA’s broader international footprint.

The 110-robot public-safety deployment

AiMOGA says it has deployed 110 humanoid police robots across multiple Chinese cities. Reported applications include traffic management, crowd guidance, and public-safety awareness campaigns. 1

These roles are narrower than autonomous policing. They position the robots as tools for routine, visible, and potentially hazardous duties—such as roadside operations or public information—rather than as replacements for officers across the full range of police work.

That distinction matters commercially. Defined tasks can offer a clearer route to testing, procurement, and repeat deployments than a promise of a robot capable of handling almost any environment or job.

The scale-up challenge

AiMOGA’s 10,000-unit target arrives as competition intensifies across China’s humanoid-robot sector. Financing, production capacity, component access, software performance, and evidence from real-world deployments are becoming increasingly important differentiators. 45

Industry consolidation is a reasonable risk to watch, but it is an assessment—not a published AiMOGA forecast. A potential IPO could give the company more resources to compete, yet it would not by itself resolve the technical, regulatory, and customer-adoption challenges involved in scaling internationally.

Chery’s broader thesis is that automotive and robotics capabilities can reinforce one another through shared technology and supply-chain expertise. 6 The key test will be whether that industrial advantage translates into reliable robots, repeat orders, and sustainable deployments across very different markets.

What to watch next

The most meaningful milestones will be concrete rather than promotional:

• whether AiMOGA names a listing venue or files formal IPO documents;
• whether it converts the 10,000-robot target into confirmed orders and deliveries;
• whether its 60-plus-country footprint produces repeat business outside China; and
• whether police, service, and companion robots can move from pilot-style deployments to durable commercial operations.

For now, AiMOGA is best understood as a Chery-backed robotics scale-up with an ambitious international target—not as a confirmed IPO candidate or proof that general-purpose humanoid robots are ready for mass adoption.
