AiMOGA Robot Presents Osmanthus Bouquet: A Technological Tribute with Eastern Warmth
When Mr. Ban entered the pavilion, Mornine, AiMOGA Robotics’ humanoid robot, stepped forward gracefully holding a bouquet of golden osmanthus — carefully wrapped in paper printed with Preface to the Poems Collected from the Orchid Pavilion(Lantingji Xu) by Chinese calligraphy master Wang Xizhi.
This gesture was specially chosen for the guest of honor, known for his appreciation of Chinese culture and calligraphy.
The interpreter explained warmly:
"Mr. Ban, as we celebrate this golden-autumn season, Mornine presents osmanthus to you — in Chinese, ‘gui’ sounds like ‘noble’, symbolizing respect, goodwill, and friendship. Since you enjoy Chinese calligraphy, the wrapping features one of China’s most famous works, Lantingji Xu."
The interpreter further noted that this gift, blending traditional art with modern craftsmanship, conveys AiMOGA Robotics’ heartfelt wishes to humanity.

After the bouquet presentation, AiMOGA’s quadruped robot Argos appeared carrying a box of chocolates, adding warmth and interactivity to the moment.
At the "Hello" in Many Languages wall — showcasing greetings in more than ten languages to symbolize openness and cross-cultural dialogue — Mr. Ban greeted a lineup of AiMOGA robots, took photos, and shared friendly exchanges.
This "robotic ceremony", uniting flowers, calligraphy, and intelligent technology, vividly reflected Chery’s humanistic approach to innovation and embodied AiMOGA’s role as a cultural envoy—telling China’s story through technology and extending goodwill across cultures.
The fragrance of osmanthus carried profound meaning: representing hospitality and symbolizing the enduring friendship between Chery and the international community in the pursuit of sustainable development — a bond destined to blossom like the osmanthus itself.
