Key Development: 90.2% Installation Success Rate Aligned with 76-Second Production Cycle

The Xiaomi robot has attained a 90.2% dual-side installation success rate at the self-tapping nut loading station, stably matching the production line’s 76-second cycle time, preliminarily validating its usability in real-world manufacturing scenarios.

Strategic Foundation: Proprietary Large Model Enables Hand-Brain Coordination

Powered by Xiaomi’s in-house VLA large model Xiaomi-Robotics-0 and tactile perception model TacRefineNet, the robot integrates multimodal perception with reinforcement learning, eliminating reliance on manually coded rules.

Industry Impact: Transitioning from Demonstrations to Productivity—Mass Deployment Within Five Years

Lei Jun stated that a large number of humanoid robots will enter factories within the next five years. Unlike industry peers focusing on demonstration routines like dancing or acrobatics, Xiaomi has chosen the “screw-driving” path, directly addressing core demands of smart manufacturing.
