Geekplus Technology Co. last week unveiled Gino 1, a dual-armed mobile robot. The company said it is a general-purpose robot for warehouses, powered by the Geek+ Brain.
Geek+ said Gino 1 can take on multiple roles, including complex multi-task workflows like picking, packing, tote moving, and inspection tasks.
Gino 1 features two force-controlled arms with seven degrees of freedom (Dof) each. Each arm features a three-finger gripper with seven active DoF, tactile sensors, and a palm RGBD camera.
The entire robot is mounted on a 360º omnidirectional mobile chassis, and it includes 3 kw wireless lightning charging.
Geek+ builds on picking experience
Traditionally known for its autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), Gino 1 is Geek+’s second foray into manipulation. In October, the Beijing-based company expanded its offerings with its first Robot Arm Picking Station. Geek+ designed the station to achieve millisecond-level inference speed and smooth coordination across workflows.
The company said its Geek+ Brain has been trained on years of operational data and enhanced through massive-scale simulation-based reinforcement learning.
Founded in 2015, Geek+ said that more than 850 customers use its AMRs to improve the flexibility, reliability, and efficiency of their supply chains. It earned a 2025 RBR50 Robotics Innovation Award for the deployment of its SkyCube automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) with Unliver PLC.
Mobile manipulators are coming to the warehouse
As humanoid robots rise in popularity, it’s becoming clear that combining movement and manipulation can provide tangible benefits to many commercial scenarios. Geekplus is one of the many companies hoping to provide a wheeled alternative to bipedal humanoid robots.
Other developers taking this route include Kinisi Robotics. Kinisi offers the KR1, a dual-armed robot with a mobile base. The company has so far focused on warehouse and storeroom applications with its robot.
RoboForce last year unveiled its Titan mobile manipulator, which it says works in demanding outdoor environments. In addition, U.K.-based Humanoid announced its HMND 01 Alpha mobile manipulator for industrial facilities in September.
Meanwhile, more established robotics players have released mobile manipulators that look more like traditional warehouse robots. For example, Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) last year introduced its MC600 mobile manipulator.
That robot combines the MiR600 autonomous mobile robot (AMR) with the UR20 and UR30 collaborative robot arms from Universal Robots (UR). The MC600 earned MiR and UR parent company Teradyne a 2025 RBR50 Robotics Innovation Award.
