What changed for buyers

On 3 November 2026, Xiaomi said two CyberOne humanoid robots completed an eight-hour task in an EV factory. The Gadgeteer, citing CLS's report of the footage, identified two charging periods during the run. The robots worked at a center-console side-cover sorting station, autonomously picking, orienting, and placing large, flexible parts into a sequencing rack.

The shift is described by Shattered as Xiaomi's longest public factory run by a Xiaomi humanoid robot so far. However, the robots remain prototypes with no public sale price. Previous estimates placed manufacturing cost between 600,000 and 700,000 CNY per unit; this is not a retail figure.

What the maker says

According to Xiaomi, the robots coordinated with the production line system and corrected anomalies on their own. The company said the run covered the station's full-day production needs. It did not publish part counts, success rates, or human interventions for the 8-hour run.

CLS reported two apparent charging breaks, at 3 hours 2 minutes and 6 hours 3 minutes on the video's cumulative timer, shown on a cumulative timer in the sped-up video. The company did not disclose battery capacity, charge time, or whether the units swap or plug in.

Still unconfirmed

  • Whether the 8-hour shift was continuous or split between two robots
  • Part count, success rate, or human interventions during the run
  • Battery capacity or charging method
  • Public pricing or availability
