Xiaomi humanoid robot runs an 8-hour task sorting parts at Xiaomi's car factory

Xiaomi says one of its humanoid robots has completed an eight-hour task at a center-console side-cover sorting station in its car factory, meeting that station's full-day production needs. The company says the robot corrected problems on its own and coordinated with the production-line system, and calls it an initial validation of production-line-level work. Xiaomi shared the result alongside its 2026 World Internet Conference award, according to IT Home, citing Xiaomi's official tech account.

It is a step up from March, when Xiaomi said a humanoid ran three hours straight at a self-tapping-nut station with a 90.2% success rate. Xiaomi also says a home agent built on its Xiaomi-Robotics-1 model finished a 30-plus-minute run of more than 50 tasks across three rooms in a Xiaomi Youth Apartment.

Xiaomi hasn't released full footage of the eight-hour run or a success rate for it.

About the footage: Autonomous, per Xiaomi: it says the robot detected and corrected anomalies on its own. Xiaomi hasn't released full footage of the eight-hour run, so that can't be checked.
