Xiaomi may soon launch AI robots, CEO shares video showing humanoids…

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun shared video footage of the company's humanoid robots performing factory tasks—sorting automotive components on production lines—signalling imminent commercial launch of industrial robotics beyond smartphones and EVs. Xiaomi just proved humanoid robots can handle deformable parts at scale in real production—the hard problem in factory automation. If you're building vision systems, grippers, or force feedback for industrial robots, you now have a customer at commercial scale who needs to buy, not build, your component.
