Xiaomi Humanoid Robot Challenges 8-Hour Stable Operation; Embodied Foundation Model Enters Trial at Youth Apartments

Lei Jun of Xiaomi Group stated that the company's humanoid robot is challenging an 8-hour stable operation cycle at a car factory station for dashboard side cover assembly, meeting full-shift production needs and enabling autonomous error correction with system-level collaboration. In civilian applications, Xiaomi's embodied foundation model is in trial operation at Xiaomi Youth Apartments, capable of executing continuous task chains exceeding 30 minutes across three rooms involving over 50 tasks. Dongwu Securities analyst Zhou Ershuang noted that improved robot intelligence may drive non-linear growth and that accumulating real-world data could enhance training via physical AI.
