Xiaomi robots have already begun to be used in an automobile plant.
Xiaomi’s official Weibo account announced that the company’s humanoid robots have begun practical training at an automobile plant.
The robot operated autonomously for three hours at a self-tapping nut installation station in the foundry, achieving a 90.2% success rate for simultaneous installation on both sides and meeting the line’s fastest production cycle requirement—it completed the operation in 76 seconds.
The robot picks up self-tapping nuts from an automatic feeder, places them on a positioning fixture, and tightens them onto solid car underbody parts. The complexity of the process stems from precise alignment, the unstable position of the arm during each pickup, and the magnetic attraction of the nut to the pin, all of which require high precision and reliability.
Xiaomi notes that this is the first step toward the widespread adoption of humanoid robots in intelligent manufacturing.
