Gasgoo Munich-On June 26 that TARS signed a partnership agreement with Tianhai Automotive Electronics Group. Tianhai is a leader in automotive wire harnesses. The firms will focus on upgrading wire harness assembly. They will collaborate across key stages, from development to industrial implementation.
Specifically, Tianhai Electronics will leverage its experience and resources. TARS will use its robotics and embodied large models. It will deploy industrial robots in real-world environments. Together, the companies will collect data and train models. They aim to develop smart solutions for wire harness tasks.
This marks the first large-scale deployment of embodied intelligence in the global automotive wire harness sector.

As the vehicle's "nervous system," automotive wire harnesses widely connect power, signal, and control systems. However, because cables are soft and unstable in shape, assembly relies on manual labor. This is due to complex procedures and high precision requirements. The process involves continuous actions like grasping and positioning. It demands high levels of visual perception and coordination.
In response, TARS integrates perception and algorithms with its AWE (AI World Engine). This is a general embodied large model capable of performing tasks. This enables robots to transcend fixed trajectory execution. They can now understand wire harness shapes and sense contact states. Robots adjust movements based on real-time feedback. They continuously learn and optimize using production line data.
Moreover, TARS employs a human-centric data collection paradigm. It transforms the know-how of skilled workers into trainable data assets. TARS uses the AWE model to enhance generalization and execution. The company is transitioning robots from lab demos to viable tools. These tools will serve large-scale manufacturing needs on production lines.
