Xiaomi's humanoid robot will make its public debut at the 2026 World Robot Conference, which runs from August 19 to 23 in Beijing.
The announcement came from Xiaomi Group President Lu Weibing during an earnings call on August 18.

Lu emphasized that the robot's primary application is on production lines in smart manufacturing factories, where it can take over manual tasks.
Technically, Xiaomi aims for universality in both the robot's body size and its underlying models.
The robot stands about 1.7 meters tall, adopting a full-size humanoid form.
Lu also stressed that Xiaomi won't develop the robot in isolation.

Instead, it will integrate into the broader 'people, cars, and home' ecosystem, exploring applications in smart factories, intelligent transportation, and household settings.
This public reveal follows earlier internal testing.
In July, Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun shared results from the robot's four-month 'internship' at an automobile factory.
At a self-tapping nut installation station requiring dual-sided work, the success rate climbed from 90.2% to 98%.

The robots later took on new roles in the final assembly workshop, achieving 90% success rates on tasks like folding center-console side covers and handling material boxes.
These trials mark the first time the robots handled long-duration work with flexible parts.
Xiaomi's practical approach is clear: first solidify performance in controlled industrial settings, then showcase it more widely.
At the World Robot Conference, the public will get its first chance to see how the humanoid platform performs outside internal testing.
