Xiaomi says humanoid robots took on an eight-hour factory task

On November 3, 2026, Xiaomi Tech said humanoid robots took on an eight-hour task sorting center-console side covers at Xiaomi Auto Factory. Xiaomi said they could detect and correct anomalies and coordinate with the production-line system. Martin Cid Magazine separately reports that the task included two stops to recharge and ended after 8 hours 5 minutes.

What Xiaomi says the robots did

Xiaomi Tech described the work as sorting center-console side covers at the Center Console Side-Cover Sorting Workstation. The company also said the robots could identify and correct anomalies while coordinating with the production-line system.

The reported charging stops

Martin Cid Magazine identifies the machines as two CyberOne 02 robots and reports charging stops after 3 hours 2 minutes and 6 hours 3 minutes, followed by a finish at 8 hours 5 minutes. That account describes a task spanning eight hours with charging breaks, rather than eight uninterrupted hours of operation.
