Overview
- Xiaomi posted a video on Nov. 3 that compresses an eight‑hour, center‑console side‑cover sorting shift into a short clip and shows two full‑size humanoids working at a live EV factory station.
- The company says the robots detected and corrected anomalies on their own and coordinated with the factory’s line control system during the run.
- Xiaomi did not disclose crucial performance numbers for this demonstration, including parts‑per‑hour, overall success or error rates, human intervention counts, or exact battery‑management details.
- The footage also shows mixed hardware in action: a humanoid upper body on a wheeled base and autonomous mobile robots moving bins, indicating a hybrid wheeled‑plus‑legged approach rather than pure bipedal operation.
- Observers note this follows earlier, company‑reported trials this year and CEO Lei Jun’s multi‑year deployment goal, and they say independent metrics are still required to judge whether the program is ready for true production use.
