Xiaomi wants humanoid robots working in its factories by 2030

Technology Dec 01, 2025

Xiaomi just announced plans to bring humanoid robots into its factories within the next five years.
CEO Lei Jun says these AI-powered bots will handle tasks usually done by people, starting with production lines.
Xiaomi is already using smart tech in its EV plant, where an AI X-ray machine checks car parts more accurately than humans.

Aiming for next-gen automation and teamwork

Jun sees a big future for these robots, especially in tricky home settings down the line.
He's also calling for companies to work together on shared AI platforms, since the automation market could be worth a trillion yuan.
This move builds on Xiaomi's earlier launch of CyberOne (their first humanoid robot) and fits their bigger goal to lead China away from cheap labor and into high-tech manufacturing.
