At CIIF 2026 in Shanghai, JAKA gave the global debut of the Kargo50, a heavy-duty wheeled humanoid for tote handling between stations — a 50 kg upgrade of a wheeled humanoid China's state media says has been running in a smart headlight plant since July (full specs not yet released).
- JAKA also showed the Zu50 high-payload cobot with a palletizing kit it says can be re-deployed in about 30 minutes.
- The robots run on the JAKA EVO embodied OS, supporting integration of models such as WAM and VLA alongside traditional control strategies.
- The demo photo shows each arm handling 25 kg loads. The poster notes factories increasingly need stronger, flexible humanoid workers coordinating as a network, with real-world deployment data feeding back to improve robot intelligence.
