Geekplus to debut humanoid Gino in Japan

Geekplus will unveil its humanoid robot Gino in Japan for the first time and display the robot at International Logistics Comprehensive Exhibition 2026.

What happened

Geekplus Inc. announced that it will unveil its humanoid robot Gino in Japan for the first time and display the robot at International Logistics Comprehensive Exhibition 2026, to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from Sept. 8 to 11, 2026. Gino aims to automate complex manual tasks in logistics operations, such as picking and case handling, and uses the company’s integrated AI framework, Gravity.

Why it matters

For logistics operators, the key point is that Gino is presented as capable of breaking down human work instructions into steps and handling manual tasks such as picking and case handling, rather than performing only a single predetermined motion. Geekplus says it can grasp packages of varied shapes, avoid foreign objects, adjust to positional shifts and work with transport robots. The company says its control system, which uses the whole body simultaneously, can reduce the time for one picking task by about 30%.
