Xiaomi Discloses Dual-Track Robot Progress: Long-Duration Operations at Auto Factory and Trial Operation at Youth Apartments

At the 2026 World Internet Conference, Xiaomi received the "Outstanding Contribution Award" in the innovation breakthrough category; its "Key Technologies for a General Robot Manipulation Foundation Model Oriented Toward Large-Scale Deployment" won the "Leading Science and Technology Award," and it shared two robot developments. In the industrial manufacturing scenario, the new-generation Xiaomi robot, at the center console side cover panel sequencing workstation in an auto factory, took on 8-hour long-duration operations for the first time, meeting the workstation's full-day production needs and achieving autonomous anomaly correction and system-level coordination with the production line. In the home scenario, Xiaomi's embodied foundation model began trial operation at Xiaomi Youth Apartments; built on the Xiaomi-Robotics-1 pretrained model, it establishes an Agent closed-loop system covering data collection, model inference, and task execution, and can complete a long-duration, multi-room complex task chain lasting over 30 consecutive minutes, covering 3 rooms, and including more than 50 tasks. Xiaomi stated that its total R&D investment from 2021 to 2025 reached 105.5 billion yuan, with full-year R&D investment in 2025 at 33.1 billion yuan, up 37.8% year on year; it plans to invest more than 200 billion yuan over the next five years, with expected investment in AI exceeding 60 billion yuan over the next three years.
