IT Home reported on November 3 that, according to the “Xiaomi Technology” public account, Xiaomi Group received an award in the Innovation Breakthrough category of the 2026 World Internet Conference’s “Outstanding Contribution Award,” while Xiaomi’s robotics business received the conference’s “Leading Technology Award.” During the summit, Xiaomi also disclosed two recent developments in deploying its robotics business in industrial manufacturing and home settings.
IT Home learned from the official introduction that, in a factory setting, Xiaomi’s humanoid robot took on an 8-hour work task for the first time at a workstation that sorts center-console side panels, meeting the workstation’s full-day production needs. It also autonomously corrected abnormalities during operation and coordinated with the production line at the system level, preliminarily validating its ability to work at the production-line level.
In a home setting, Xiaomi’s embodied foundation model has officially begun “trial operations” at Xiaomi Youth Apartments. An Agent system built on the Xiaomi-Robotics-1 pretrained model has completed validation of a long-horizon task lasting more than 30 consecutive minutes, covering 3 rooms and involving 50+ tasks at Xiaomi Youth Apartments.
According to the introduction, Xiaomi’s robotics VLA large model, Xiaomi-Robotics-0, uses a hybrid large-brain and small-brain architecture and can achieve an inference latency of 80 milliseconds on a consumer-grade graphics card. Xiaomi’s embodied foundation model, Xiaomi-Robotics-1, was pretrained on 100,000 hours of real-world operation trajectories and showed consistent gains from scaling laws in unseen environments and on unseen tasks. In July 2026, it ranked first overall on the two authoritative benchmarks RoboCasa 365 and RoboDojo.
Using the Xiaomi-Robotics-1 pretrained model, the research and development team carried out multiple rounds of iterative optimization with high-quality post-training data and built a closed-loop Agent system covering data collection, model inference and task execution. The system can autonomously plan and execute a complete task encompassing tool preparation, tidying sofas and tabletops, clearing rubbish, sorting items and putting them back in place, inspecting rooms, rechecking the entire home and leaving the premises.
