Xiaomi tests humanoid robots on EV factory floor handling components and folding boxes
Olivier__OG · x · 2026-08-29
Xiaomi is testing humanoid robots inside its actual EV factory, moving beyond staged demos to the production floor. The robots perform routine industrial tasks such as material handling, sorting, logistics support, and box folding. Unlike labs, factories are unforgiving environments where failure is not an option, making this deployment significant. This shift represents the future of manufacturing: intelligent machines handle repetitive physical work while humans supervise and collaborate, increasing capacity, consistency, and safety.
