China has introduced a humanoid robot named Mornine. It can perform the functions of a car salesperson by greeting visitors, engaging in conversations, and explaining a vehicle’s technical specifications, reports Interesting Engineering.

Mornine was officially unveiled on October 20, 2025, at the AiMOGA Global Business Conference held in Wuhu, Anhui Province, China, which was attended by representatives from over 30 countries.

The robot was developed on the AiMOGA Robotics platform with support from Chinese automaker Chery Automobile, which aimed to combine automotive technology with intelligent robotics.

Mornine can independently open car doors and demonstrate vehicle functions. It uses a full-body motion system, reinforced learning, and built-in sensors that enable it to operate in a relatively human-like manner.

The robot interacts with visitors in multiple languages, presents cars, conducts demonstrations, and can be used at exhibitions or showrooms.

Developers emphasize that the goal is not just to showcase “any robot,” but to create a new customer experience through technology, where the robot not only “promotes” the car but actively participates in the process—greeting, conversing, and helping customers make choices.

This is part of a broader trend: Chinese automakers view humanoid robots as a long-term development. For instance, companies can apply automotive development skills—sensors, artificial intelligence, and visual perception—to robotics. Specifically, Chery plans a three-phase deployment for Mornine: first as a showroom consultant, then as an assistant at exhibitions, and finally as a home or service robot assistant.
