Xiaomi's humanoid robots achieved 98% operational success on EV assembly lines after four months of testing, handling component installation, sorting, and recycling tasks. The deployment signals a structural shift in automotive manufacturing from fixed robotic arms to flexible humanoid systems capable of managing delicate, variable tasks in continuous production environments.
