Meet the AI robot that could sell you a car one day

Chery
  • Chery, the owner of Omoda and Jaecoo, has unveiled 'Mornine,' an AI-powered robotic sales assistant, at the Shanghai Motor Show.
  • Mornine can greet customers, provide vehicle information, and serve refreshments, utilising machine learning to improve its performance based on customer interactions.
  • Currently being trialled in showrooms in Malaysia, Chery plans to potentially roll out Mornine worldwide for dealer-level administration and service.
  • The robot uses speech and vision inputs to interpret commands and has automotive-grade hardware that allows it to walk upright and grip items.
  • Chery also showcased 'Argos,' an AI-powered robotic dog designed to offer companionship for those unable to keep real pets, and suggests Mornine could eventually be used in people's homes.
