Gasgoo Munich- The first batch of G2 robots recently rolled off the production line at Puzhi Robot (Wuxi), a subsidiary of PIA Automation.
Positioned as a core product for industrial settings, the G2 covers 3C electronics assembly, line loading and unloading, logistics sorting, heavy handling, and parts inspection — with the flexibility to expand into commercial services like exhibition tours and security patrols. Performance-wise, it pairs self-developed joint modules with dexterous hands to achieve millimeter-level force control. The robot also integrates GO-1, China's first embodied foundation model, equipping it with advanced AI decision-making. Real-world results stand out: during a trial at a leading domestic 3C manufacturer, the G2 executed 2,283 tasks over eight straight hours with zero errors, underscoring its stability and reliability on the factory floor.

At the Wuxi plant, four production lines — lower-leg assembly, waist-and-arm assembly, final assembly, and shell-wiring testing — are now fully synchronized, hitting a brisk pace of one unit assembled per hour. Each robot undergoes six hours of burn-in testing, force-control calibration, and precision checks to guarantee zero-defect delivery. Notably, the robot's head packs in 30 precision components, the smallest just 1 millimeter across. Because these parts are highly sensitive to static, workers must wear anti-static bands and assemble them to "microsurgery" standards.
On the order front, Puzhi Wuxi has already locked in an initial batch of 1,000 units. By optimizing flexible tooling to boost efficiency, the company expects monthly output to jump to 300 to 400 units by August. As for cost control, PIA Automation is leaning on its scale manufacturing and local supply chain to cut G2 production costs by 20% over the next two years.
The Wuxi operation strengthens PIA Automation's three-pronged technical moat — combining industrial applications, cutting-edge R&D, and independent production — and marks a strategic move in the Yangtze River Delta. Going forward, the company will keep steering by industrial demand, pushing for reliable, efficient, and scaled mass production of robots in complex settings to power the next wave of smart manufacturing upgrades.
