On December 26, 2024, GAC Group officially released the third-generation humanoid robot GoMate, which became the focus of media attention. The innovative announcement comes less than a month after the company demonstrated its second-generation embodied intelligent robot, marking a significant acceleration of GAC Group’s robot development progress.
Following the launch of Xpeng Motors’ Iron humanoid robot in early November, GAC has positioned itself as a key player in the booming domestic humanoid robot market.
GoMate is a full-size wheeled humanoid robot with an astonishing 38 degrees of freedom, enabling a wide range of movement and functionality. One of its standout features is the industry’s first variable wheel mobility structure, seamlessly integrating four- and two-wheel modes.
This design not only enhances mobility but also enables the robot to traverse various terrains with ease. At the launch event, GoMate demonstrated its superior capabilities in precise motion control, precise navigation and autonomous decision-making, demonstrating its robustness and reliability in dynamic environments.
GAC Group’s strategic approach in the field of humanoid robots deserves attention. Although many automobile companies have entered this field through investment or cooperation, GAC Group has chosen to conduct independent research and development. This commitment to self-sufficiency is reflected in GoMate’s hardware, which includes completely in-house developed core components such as dexterous hands, drives and motors. This level of internal development not only improves the performance of the robots, but also positions GAC Group as a leader in the competitive landscape of intelligent robots.
GoMate adopts a low-cost and high-performance system platform architecture to meet the dual needs of high performance and low price. This competitive advantage is crucial in a market where price/performance is often the deciding factor in consumer and business choice.
In addition, GoMate also adopts the purely visual autonomous driving algorithm independently developed by GAC to enhance its navigation capabilities. The advanced FIGS-SLAM algorithm architecture enables the robot to transition from plane intelligence to spatial intelligence, enabling it to operate effectively in complex environments.
In addition to its powerful navigation capabilities, GoMate is also equipped with a large multi-modal model that can respond to complex human voice commands within milliseconds. This feature is significant as it enhances human-computer interaction and makes GoMate more user-friendly and easy to use. 3D-GS three-dimensional scene reconstruction technology and immersive VR headset remote control technology further enhance the robot’s ability to autonomously plan actions and efficiently collect data.
The importance of GAC’s advances in humanoid robots has received growing support from national and local governments. The Central Economic Work Conference held on December 11 emphasized the need to strengthen basic research and the development of key core technologies, especially in the field of artificial intelligence. This is consistent with the Guangdong Provincial Government’s initiatives to promote the innovative development of intelligent robots, including humanoid robots such as GoMate. Government support not only creates a favorable environment for technological progress, but also highlights the strategic importance of robotics in China’s future industrial landscape.
The GoMate’s technical specifications further enhance its appeal. Supported by GAC Group’s all-solid-state battery technology, the robot has a battery life of up to 6 hours, making it ideal for long-term missions and environmental exploration. This capability is critical for applications ranging from industrial automation to service-oriented tasks, where sustained performance is critical.
As GAC Group continues to innovate in the field of humanoid robots, it is clear that the company is not only responding to current market needs, but also anticipating future trends. The rapid development and release of GoMate reflects GAC Group’s broader strategy to enter the field of intelligent robots, making GAC a formidable competitor on the global stage. With its commitment to independent research and development, GAC Group is poised to make a significant contribution to the development of humanoid robots and consolidate China’s leading position in advanced technology.
All in all, the launch of GoMate is an important milestone for GAC Group and the entire Chinese automotive industry. By prioritizing innovation and self-sufficiency, GAC Group not only strengthens its competitive advantage but also contributes to the global voice of intelligent robots. As the demand for humanoid robots continues to grow, GAC Group’s proactive strategies and technological breakthroughs will undoubtedly play a key role in shaping the future of this exciting field.
