GAC Group

A Guangzhou state-owned automaker that incubated Huilun Technology to build its wheel-legged GoMate humanoid robots.

GAC Group was formed in 1997, is headquartered in Guangzhou, and is a Guangzhou municipal state-owned automaker, dual-listed in Hong Kong and on the A-share market. It began developing humanoid robots in early 2022, and in December 2024 released its third-generation GoMate: a wheel-legged design that can switch between a four-wheel and two-wheel stance, with self-developed core components. In October 2025 it followed with the fourth-generation GoMate Mini, mainly for security patrol work. In February 2026, GAC incubated Guangdong Huilun Technology to independently handle robot R&D and sales; that August, Huilun closed a round of more than RMB 100 million (with CRRC Guochuang Fund and CMB International, among others), saying nearly 50 GoMate Mini units were already deployed with orders worth close to RMB 10 million, and that it plans large-scale mass production by 2027.

ExampleGoMate Mini patrols along a set route in a business park or auto plant, using its cameras to spot anomalies and report them; Huilun says its longest-running deployment has operated continuously for 12 months.
