Auto China 2024: Chery and AiMOGA unveil Mornine, the world’s first super-fast walking robot – Robots, Auto China Beijing | Information | LOGISTRA

The walking robot is intended to combine state-of-the-art biomaterials, pioneering mechanical design, grasping capabilities and embedded industry-specific language designs to set a new standard for service robots in a variety of industries.

Mornine’s height and weight depend on petite women

With a height of 1.66 meters and a weight of 55 kg, the bot is more like a miniature woman than a giant predator. Mornine is made from new bionic materials such as bionic silicone and light metal alloys, which not only improve appearance but also promote interaction with the user.

How is Mornine different from other robots?

In fact, great importance was placed on a face that looked balanced and the human figure. Chery sees the robot not only as a tool, but as a smart companion. Unlike robots from eg B. Boston Dynamics, which use pneumatic mechanisms that can be noisy and expensive, Mornine uses advanced biomaterials and processes that ensure quiet operation and cost-effectiveness. This strategic decision not only improves the user experience but is also intended to support a sustainable business model.

While Tesla’s robots are rapidly developing and stable, Mornine is said to boast a higher level of bionics and richer facial expressions, making it more suitable for collaborative services in a variety of environments beyond industrial use.

Chery’s product is intended to be different from other robots with its clear use cases and high level of anthropomorphism, and it also stands in stark contrast to Xiaomi’s low bionics CyberOne and unknown scope of use.

Special applications are not limited to maintenance

“Mornine is the first humanoid robot to enter the space of intelligent services and represents a major advance in robotic capabilities and potential applications,” said Zhang Gui Bing, President of Chery International at Chery Automobile, adding:

“Mornine is poised to not only revolutionize the service industry, but also become an integral part of everyday life, improving human-robot interaction and civilization like never before.”

Mornine is also the world’s first highly mobile robot that combines brain (interaction), cerebellum (control) and integrated intelligence, because currently there are two types of robots in the industry: One is biological, with facial expressions and very anthropomorphic hand. movement; the other is mechanical and can only move in one motion. Mornine now combines these two worlds of robots: bionic and ambulatory.

Deep learning and AI are intended to make robots emotionally intelligent

Based on the general design of the large-scale AI, Mornine acquires expertise related to cars. Through extensive training, Chery aims to create an emotional machine that can deeply understand and recognize human emotions and feelings, achieving the interactive experience of “thousands of people with thousands of faces, hundreds of people with hundreds of personalities.” this as an “advanced emotion and personality engine” that is intended to facilitate personal interaction through a deeper understanding and perception of human emotions. Interesting: Chery has already automated 96% of its latest jobs according to an insider, meaning most jobs are already being done by robots or AI. That’s why Mornine was the logical step to just put all this concentrated prowess on two legs and put it in a human form.

In fact, Chery has already considered several requests:

• Senior automotive service specialist: Extensive automotive content and in-house knowledge base training enable Mornine to develop into a digital service specialist who understands well the vehicles of, for example, Chery or Omoda.
• Mornine is specifically designed for complex and unique applications such as: B. in retail, family care and emotional support, unlike general-purpose robots that lack specialized skills.

At the same time, there is also a “distribution or acceleration plan”: Mornine will act as a content specialist in various areas such as 4S car shops, supermarkets and bookstores, using the GPT language model and knowledge bases professional to provide professional consulting services. .

The next phase will expand Mornine and the robot’s vision for spatial positioning and movement capabilities. Combined with his anthropomorphic grasping ability, Mornine will provide comprehensive sales and purchasing advice, from answering customer questions to finding and delivering products – especially in hardware and electronics stores, this will be a dream come true!

The market launch is planned for 2027. Until then, Mornine is expected to further develop its emotional recognition skills to adapt to the needs of families and accompany and care for them – from telling stories to children to reminding the elderly about their daily activities.

What does that mean?

Chery has had a low profile for a long time – and now, along with several new car brands, they are also releasing a walking robot. It will be interesting to see how it will be used and where. We trust him with basic, low-level tasks, maybe even caring tasks, but when it comes to true compassion, Mornine will also reach his limits. However, a bold plan that can also provide assistance in the management of equipment or fleet.
