A car company putting a full-size humanoid robot on an e-commerce shelf — that’s where we are now. Chery, one of China’s largest automakers, just started selling the AiMOGA Mornine M1 through its JD.com flagship store on April 13. Price tag: 285,800 yuan (~$41,400). First shipments go out after May 23.
What You Get for $41K
The Mornine M1 is a 167cm, 70kg general-purpose humanoid robot with 40 degrees of freedom in the body and 12 more per hand. It walks at 1 m/s, carries up to 1.5 kg per arm, and runs for about 2 hours on a 0.7 kWh battery. Sensor-wise: 3D LiDAR, two depth cameras, a wide-angle camera, and four ultrasonic sensors. It does dual-arm coordination, autonomous door opening, and VR teleoperation.
Why This Matters
This isn’t just another robot demo video. Chery is selling this thing to consumers — with financing options through its auto lending arm. You can lease it or pay in installments, same way you’d buy a car. The store also lists an Argos X1 robot dog for 15,800 yuan.
Chinese automakers are racing into robotics. BYD, Xpeng, and now Chery — the factory lines that build EVs are being repurposed for humanoid robots. Chery’s move is notable because they skipped the “announce, demo, wait two years” playbook and went straight to JD.com with a buy button.
