What changes

Wheeled humanoid switching between four and two wheels.
Variable height from 1.40 m to 1.75 m, 38 degrees of freedom.
GAC all-solid-state batteries for 6 hours of runtime.
Pilot use in 2025, small series in 2026, mass production later.

### Background On December 26, 2024, GAC unveiled GoMate, its third-generation embodied AI robot (the second had been shown in early December). The robot takes an unusual form: a wheeled humanoid that switches between a four-wheel and a two-wheel mode. ### Specifications | Item | Value | |---|---| | Height | 1.40 m (four wheels) to 1.75 m (two wheels) | | Degrees of freedom | 38 | | Battery | GAC all-solid-state, 6 h of runtime | | Energy use | 80% lower than comparable products (per GAC) | GoMate combines motion control, navigation, localization and autonomous decision-making. ### Why it matters GAC follows the same logic as other Chinese carmakers: reuse automotive building blocks (batteries, autonomous driving, industrialization) for robotics. The first target uses are internal: inspection on GAC production lines, then security, healthcare, aftermarket, logistics and education. The carmaker plans pilot use in several industries in 2025, small-volume production in 2026, then mass production. ### Key takeaways GoMate confirms Chinese carmakers' arrival in humanoids, here with a wheel-leg compromise rather than bipedal walking.
