Chery’s AiMOGA Reaches 1,000th Robot Dog Milestone

Chery Group’s robotics division, AiMOGA, has passed a major commercial benchmark, delivering its 1,000th Argos robot dog in 2025. The milestone illustrates the company’s intent to move beyond the automotive space and apply its engineering systems to emerging categories such as advanced robotics.

While Chery is best known in Australia for its fast-growing car lineup, the company has been steadily building a presence in intelligent robotics through AiMOGA, which sits under its global R&D and manufacturing arm.

Robotics Built On Automotive Foundations

The Argos robot dog is built using the same software, hardware and production systems used in Chery’s car manufacturing. AiMOGA says this approach has enabled it to produce robots that are durable, scalable and fit for use in a range of real-world scenarios.

The robot dog is currently being deployed across home assistance, community patrol, factory inspection and industrial site monitoring.

“Delivering the 1,000th Argos robot dog in 2025 demonstrates both our product maturity and our ability to deploy robotics at scale,” said Zhang Guibing, Executive Vice President of Chery Automobile and General Manager of AiMOGA Robotics.

“By leveraging Chery’s established manufacturing and quality systems, we are able to bring intelligent robots into practical, everyday scenarios with valuable applications.”

Technical Capabilities And Use Cases

Argos features 13 degrees of freedom, allowing it to perform complex, independent movements across joints and axes. This enables it to walk, turn, balance and interact with its environment more precisely.

The robot can carry loads up to 5 kilograms and travel up to 6.48 kilometres on a single charge.

Its primary use cases include:

• Safety inspections in hard-to-reach or hazardous areas
  
  
• Night patrols with real-time video transmission
  
  
• Basic home assistance tasks such as item delivery or alerts

AiMOGA said the robot is already being used across manufacturing parks, commercial property, residential spaces and public environments.

Production And Global Reach

AiMOGA currently operates two standardised robot production lines with annual capacity for up to 15,000 units. The company has also flagged plans to expand the Argos lineup, with variants tailored for different use cases.

These include:

• Lightweight models for domestic environments
  
  
• Weather-resistant outdoor versions
  
  
• Patrol-focused editions built for warehouses, industrial parks and construction sites

Argos robots have already been deployed in more than 30 countries and regions. Pilot programs are underway in several cities, testing the robots in public service roles such as traffic guidance and security patrol.

Australian Availability Under Review

AiMOGA has not confirmed a launch date for Australia. A spokesperson said availability is currently under review, and the company is assessing local demand and regulatory requirements.

Chery has been expanding its local footprint in the Australian car market and may look to bring parts of its broader technology portfolio to local industries in the future.
