Xiaomi unveiled a new 1.7 m, 66 kg humanoid at the World Robot Conference in Beijing on 2026-08-19 after about four months of training in its own EV factory. Lei Jun reports 90.2% success loading self-tapping nuts over three hours at a 76-second takt, and later 98% for two-handed operation at that station. The robot is an internal prototype with no price, no external customer and no sales plan; the figures come from Xiaomi itself.

Our verdict

A credible big-company programme with factory footage and numbers worth watching, but an internal trial, not a product. Stays on the watchlist until it works for someone other than Xiaomi.

Inclusion criteria met

Purchasable in EU/US with a public priceNot purchasable or pre-orderable anywhere; Xiaomi says it is a prototype under internal validation.
Deployed at a named customerTrials run only inside Xiaomi's own automobile factory. That is an internal pilot by the developer itself, not a named external customer, so it is not counted as a deployment under criterion 2. this review lists 3 only. If the editorial board accepts self-use as 'deployment', the robot would qualify for criterion 2 and move to core.
Serious developer with real, uncut videoA listed large-cap company with its own VLA model (Xiaomi-Robotics-0) and real footage from a factory line and public demos at WRC Beijing and IFA Berlin.
