Investing.com — According to Xiaomi President Lu Weibing, Xiaomi has tested its self-developed humanoid robots at its electric vehicle factory.

Lu Weibing said in an interview with CNBC at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona, Spain, that two humanoid robots can complete 90% of the work within three hours. These robots are capable of tasks including installing nuts and transporting materials.

Lu Weibing stated that the biggest challenge in integrating robots into the production line is maintaining the required production pace. At Xiaomi’s car factory, a new vehicle rolls off the line every 76 seconds, and these two humanoid robots can keep up with that speed.

The company president emphasized that enabling humanoid robots to work in factories and improve production efficiency is a key focus for Xiaomi. He added that in the future, humanoid robots will be able to replace humans in certain tasks and perform work that humans cannot.

Xiaomi first introduced its CyberOne humanoid robot in 2022, but the product has not yet been launched for sale.

Lu Weibing said that using robots in production factories is still in the early stages. He told CNBC that robots on the production line are not yet officially operational and are more like interns.
