Gasgoo Munich- TARS is set to showcase its latest strides in scaling embodied intelligence at the upcoming World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2026). Centered on three key highlights—the new AWE 3.5 embodied intelligence foundation model, a real-world automotive wire harness production line, and a dexterous-hand magic show—the company will demonstrate its innovation chain spanning data, models, and hardware.
Specifically, the company will officially unveil its next-generation embodied intelligence foundation model, AWE 3.5, during the event.
Marking the industry's first complete "pre-training plus post-training" paradigm for embodied native models, AWE 3.5 leverages over 1 million hours of human-centric real-world data alongside rich visual and tactile information. This significantly boosts robot generalization and execution stability in actual environments, enabling machines to perceive accurately, touch precisely, and operate steadily on the production line.
On-site, AWE 3.5 will offer an interactive visualization of the model. Visitors can step into a virtual space constructed by the world model to experience firsthand how the robot brain interprets space, deduces physical laws, and plans motion paths—turning the "model black box" into something intuitive and understandable.

Meanwhile, TARS will recreate a 1:1 replica of an actual automotive wire harness assembly line, where a cluster of robots will demonstrate autonomous production operations.
Backed by AWE 3.5's capabilities, TARS has partnered with industrial leaders like Tianhai Electronics and Aptiv, as well as local governments including Shanghai's Jiading District, to drive the large-scale deployment of embodied intelligence in high-precision, complex manufacturing scenarios.
In its collaboration with Jiading District, the parties aim to launch the nation's first 1,000-unit industrial embodied intelligence robot cluster. The initial phase will be deployed at an Aptiv production base, establishing China's first industrial robot cluster designed for "real work."
Additionally, leveraging the visual-tactile perception and fine control capabilities enabled by the AWE embodied model, the DexHand-equipped A1 robot will join world-class magician Deng Nanzi (Daly) for a debut human-robot magic performance. The DexHand features a 21-degree-of-freedom quasi-direct drive design, replicating human skeletal structure and joint distribution on a 1:1 scale while balancing smooth motion, control precision, and production consistency.
