What Mobo Is and When Pre-Orders Open
AiMOGA says Mobo is its first consumer-grade family companion humanoid robot, designed for home companionship. At The Bot Scout, we summarise AiMOGA's releases, and we have not handled the robot. AiMOGA's 17 October press release says Mobo will be unveiled on 21 October 2026 in Wuhu, Anhui, China, at the 2026 Chery International User Summit.
Global pre-orders for the AiMOGA Mobo open on 21 October 2026 according to AiMOGA's 17 October press release. An earlier release on 16 October noted that pre-orders open at the summit itself. The broader event includes a showcase running from 19 October to 23 October 2026 at the Chery Global Technology Innovation Center, operating under the overall summit theme of ECO-TECH FOR OUR FUTURE LIFE.
Demonstrations planned across the showcase window focus on family companionship and child learning scenarios. While AiMOGA positions Mobo for home companionship, AiMOGA has not published initial shipment schedules or deposit amounts.
What the Releases Say Mobo Does
AiMOGA says the Mobo robot delivers voice interaction, visual object recognition, schedule reminders, and long-term memory. AiMOGA says Mobo is designed to remember each family member's habits and preferences, with privacy protection from the outset.
Physical interaction relies on a full-body 22-degree-of-freedom (DoF) motion system. AiMOGA claims this kinematic setup enables stable movement, expressive physical gestures, and coordinated dance routines. Mobo is also designed to navigate homes using dynamic obstacle avoidance.
AiMOGA says its in-house MoAgent system links perception, interaction and execution, and is designed to break complex instructions into actionable steps and plan longer-term tasks.
What AiMOGA Has Not Published
AiMOGA has left substantial operational and mechanical details out of its public announcements. AiMOGA has published no retail price, required reservation deposit, refund conditions, or expected delivery dates at the time of writing. Some outlets print a price; none appears in AiMOGA's releases.
Physical dimensions also remain unpublished. AiMOGA provides no data regarding Mobo's height, weight, payload, or compute.
Battery, runtime, and regional availability are also unpublished. AiMOGA has not released details regarding battery capacity or runtime. AiMOGA has not specified onboard compute hardware. AiMOGA's own domain was parked at the time of writing.
Who Is Behind Mobo
AiMOGA is the dedicated robotics brand of Chinese automotive manufacturer Chery (see the AiMOGA company profile for its other robots). AiMOGA says it runs 31 in-house R&D labs and draws on Chery's R&D, supply chain and quality control.
Prior to the Mobo announcement, AiMOGA demonstrated robotic platforms at industry trade events. AiMOGA's release says its robots were previously shown at the World Robot Conference and the World Manufacturing Convention.
AiMOGA previously introduced a separate humanoid model named Mornine. An official Chery International Mornine announcement published in September 2025 detailed the platform without listing a public commercial buyer price. See how other Chinese humanoids compare in our Chinese humanoid robots guide.
The Car-and-Robot Angle
A Bernama report of 14 October 2026 says the home robot launch event is themed "Car-Robot Synergy, Real-World Impact". The report does not name Mobo.
The theme says nothing about shipping dates or after-sales service.

Risks to Weigh Before Placing Pre-Orders
Opening global pre-orders without published retail pricing or clear delivery windows presents distinct financial and operational risks for consumers. Placing a deposit without a known price, refund terms, or delivery date carries financial risk.
We found no independent test, hands-on review or delivery confirmation of Mobo at the time of writing. AiMOGA's releases include no independent test of how Mobo navigates a home.
Verdict on Mobo Pre-Orders
Robotics followers can track the 19 to 23 October showcase. AiMOGA says the showcase demonstrates family companionship and child learning scenarios.
Homeowners seeking a functional, dependable household appliance should not join the 21 October pre-orders. Committing capital without published prices, firm shipping commitments, defined return terms, or hardware dimensions carries unnecessary risk.
Our assessment would change if AiMOGA publishes clear retail pricing, defines binding delivery schedules, guarantees full refund rights for reservation deposits, and permits unscripted third-party testing of its navigation and memory systems. Until those disclosures appear, interested buyers should monitor the October summit demonstrations through AiMOGA's October 16 showcase announcement and wait for production models to reach paying customers.
Bottom Line
AiMOGA's releases say Mobo is unveiled 21 October 2026 with global pre-orders the same day, but price, deposit, delivery dates, regions, height, weight, battery and runtime are not published. We found no independent test or hands-on review at the time of writing. Robotics followers can track the 19 to 23 October showcase, while anyone who needs a price or delivery date should wait. A published price and delivery date would change this verdict.
