Quick Takeaways
  • Xiaomi humanoid robots successfully operated an assembly station for three hours with over 90% installation accuracy.
  • The company plans large-scale humanoid robot deployment in EV manufacturing within five years.

On March 2, Jun Lei, CEO of Xiaomi Corp., revealed that Xiaomi humanoid robots have begun an internship program inside the company’s electric vehicle production facility, marking a new step in intelligent manufacturing integration.

Humanoid robots enter EV manufacturing operations

The robotic system combines multimodal perception with reinforcement learning and operates on the Xiaomi-Robotics-0 general VLA foundation model. This technology enables the robot to understand its surroundings, process tasks, and perform assembly work with a high level of autonomy.

During initial deployment, the robot operated independently at a self-tapping screw nut assembly station for three continuous hours. It achieved a double-sided simultaneous installation success rate of 90.2% while maintaining a production takt time of just 76 seconds.

Early demonstration of intelligent factory capabilities

The results demonstrate the feasibility of integrating humanoid robotics into complex automotive assembly environments where precision, repeatability, and production efficiency are critical.

Future scale deployment planned

The company stated that it will continue advancing the industrial use of general-purpose humanoid robotics to strengthen intelligent factory operations. Over the next five years, Xiaomi expects to deploy a significant number of robots across its EV manufacturing facilities to support scalable automated production.
