On November 3, Xiaomi disclosed that Xiaomi Corporation received the “Outstanding Contribution Award” in the Innovation Breakthrough category at the 2026 World Internet Conference, an award aimed at honoring individuals and enterprises that have made outstanding contributions in global internet-related fields. At the same time, Xiaomi's robot business “Key Technologies for General Robot Operation Base Models Oriented Towards Scalable Deployment” received the conference's “Leading Technology Award,” an award aimed at rewarding the most leading internet technology achievements globally for the year.

During the summit, Xiaomi also disclosed two of the latest implementation progresses of its robot business in industrial manufacturing and home scenarios.

In a factory scene, Xiaomi disclosed the latest “internship” progress of humanoid robots in a car factory: they first challenged an 8-hour work task in the center console side cover sorting workstation, meeting the workstation's full-day production requirements, and achieved autonomous error correction and production line system-level coordination during the work process, preliminarily completing the verification of production line-level work capabilities.

In a home scenario, the Xiaomi embodied base model officially started “trial operation” at the Xiaomi Youth Apartment, building an Agent system based on the Xiaomi-Robotics-1 pre-trained model, and has completed long-range task verification at the Xiaomi Youth Apartment with a continuous duration of over 30 minutes, covering 3 rooms, and including 50+ tasks.

Hu Qimu, Deputy Secretary-General of the China Digital-Real Integration 50-Person Forum and Chief Researcher of the Digital Economy Think Tank, stated that Xiaomi's robot achieved an 8-hour full-shift operation in an automobile factory and preliminarily completed the verification of production-line-level operational capabilities, which is an important exploration of humanoid robots empowering intelligent manufacturing. “Xiaomi's uniqueness lies in the fact that the robot business grows upon a real manufacturing system, and the intelligent manufacturing factory provides a scarce source of high-quality training data.”

Hu Qimu believes that Xiaomi's complete "human-vehicle-home full ecosystem" business layout provides a great landing channel for the robot business; Xiaomi's embodied base model started "trial operations" in a youth apartment, representing Xiaomi robots beginning to explore home scenarios with higher requirements for model generalization capability; a set of technical foundations simultaneously supporting two major scenarios of industry and home indicates that Xiaomi has already completed the positive cycle of "scenario-defining technology, technology feeding back into scenarios."

Wuzhen Summit double award recognition, Xiaomi Group's underlying technology innovation achieves systematic breakthrough

From November 02 to November 05, the 2026 World Internet Conference was held in Wuzhen, Zhejiang. Xiaomi Corporation won the conference's “Outstanding Contribution Award,” and the Xiaomi Robotics team's key technology for the embodied base model won the conference's “Leading Technology Award.”

The Wuzhen Summit “Outstanding Contribution Award” was established starting from 2024, aiming to recognize individuals and enterprises that have made outstanding contributions in global internet-related fields. This year, a total of more than 230 enterprises from around the world applied, covering nearly 20 countries and regions, spanning multiple tracks such as artificial intelligence, chip design, mobile communications, and internet platforms; after two rounds of reviews by top global experts, only 15 enterprises finally received this honor.

Xiaomi won the award upon its first application, fully reflecting the World Internet Conference's recognition of Xiaomi's hard-core technological innovation and breakthrough capabilities. As a technology company whose core technology layout covers multiple fields such as chips, AI, OS, intelligent manufacturing, and robotics, Xiaomi's long-term investment in underlying technologies is currently achieving systematic outputs and breakthroughs in multiple directions.

The Wuzhen Summit “Leading Technology Award” aims to reward the most leading internet technology achievements globally for the year. For the 2026 awards, a total of over 430 technological achievements from 43 countries and regions were collected, and 20 final finalists were selected by 30 top experts from home and abroad.

The technology Xiaomi won this award for is “key technologies for general robot operation base models oriented towards large-scale deployment,” representing Xiaomi's core technological achievements in embodied models and large-scale applications. Currently, this technology has been implemented in a small-scale pilot at Xiaomi Youth Apartments, achieving a “technology-product-scenario-data” closed loop in real-world scenarios.

Xiaomi has previously iterated 2 generations of embodied base models and conducted technical verification and practical applications in multiple industrial and home scenarios. The latest generation of embodied base model, Xiaomi-Robotics-1, is pre-trained based on 100,000 hours of real-world operation data, and was the first in China to systematically verify the existence of Scaling Law in the field of embodied intelligence, ranking first globally on authoritative evaluation leaderboards such as RoboCasa365 and RoboDojo.

Double breakthroughs in industrial manufacturing and home scenarios, Xiaomi Robotics discloses latest progress

During this summit, Xiaomi disclosed two latest landing progresses of robots, showcasing the latest exploration results of the Xiaomi Robotics team in industrial manufacturing and home scenarios.

In industrial manufacturing scenarios, Xiaomi's humanoid robot completed preliminary verification of production-line level operational capabilities, first challenging an 8-hour operation task in the middle control console side cover sorting workstation, meeting the full-day production requirements of the workstation, and achieving autonomous error correction during the operation process and production-line system-level coordination.

This achievement comes from a clear progression path. In March 2026, the Xiaomi humanoid robot entered the Xiaomi Auto factory for its first “internship,” achieving continuous autonomous operation for 3 hours at the self-tapping nut assembly station, with a dual-side installation success rate of 90.2%, meeting the 76-second production line beat. In July, the success rate of the Xiaomi robot at the self-tapping nut station increased to 98%, and two complex stations—center console side cover plate sorting and bin folding and recovery—were added, achieving long-duration operation on flexible parts for the first time.

Until the preliminary verification of production line-level operational capabilities is completed, the pace of Xiaomi robots' deployment in industrial manufacturing scenarios continues to accelerate, which means Xiaomi is continuously breaking through the technical bottlenecks of humanoid robots in intelligent manufacturing scenarios, providing effective exploration for the future large-scale application of general-purpose humanoid robots in the field of intelligent manufacturing.

In a home scenario, the embodied base model with Xiaomi-Robotics-1 as the core technology base began "trial operations" in the Xiaomi Youth Apartment. Based on the Xiaomi-Robotics-1 pre-trained model, Xiaomi engineers conducted multiple rounds of iterative optimization using high-quality post-training data and built an Agent closed-loop system covering data collection, model inference, and task execution.

The system has successfully executed long-range, multi-room task chains in the Xiaomi Youth Apartment, completing a long-range task verification that lasted over 30 minutes continuously, covered 3 rooms, and included 50+ tasks, covering complete stages such as tool preparation, sofa and desktop tidying, trash clearing, item classification and returning, room inspection, whole-house re-inspection, and departure.

From factories to apartments, Xiaomi robots are simultaneously advancing the landing verification of two major scenarios—industrial manufacturing and home services—under the support of the same batch of embodied base model technologies. The official launch of the youth apartment trial operation marks the formal completion of Xiaomi's “technology-product-scenario-data” closed loop in real-life scenarios, and also accumulates real operational data and engineering experience for embodied intelligence to enter home scenarios in the future.
