Xiaomi Group founder Lei Jun announced that the company's humanoid robot successfully completed an 8-hour stable operation cycle at a car factory station, meeting full-shift production demands and achieving autonomous correction of anomalies during operation with system-level collaboration. In civilian scenarios, Xiaomi's embodied foundation model is currently in trial operation within the Xiaomi Youth Apartment, capable of completing long-term task chains exceeding 30 minutes covering three rooms and including over 50 tasks. Dongwu Securities mechanical industry chief analyst Zhou Ershuang stated that improvements in humanoid robot intelligence are expected to achieve nonlinear growth and that accumulating practical application data may improve robot training methods through physical AI.
