Xiaomi unveiled the CyberOne, its first humanoid robot in 2022, which is reportedly equipped with high power density actuators. It joins the company’s Cyber series robots – the CyberDog and CyberDog 2.
Now the latest news is that Xiaomi Robotics is currently actively promoting a phased implementation of the robot in its own manufacturing system. According to the company, the intelligence of the robots could be utilized in specific scenarios of its manufacturing process.
Xiaomi reportedly envisions building an open-source platform through technological innovations and breakthroughs.
The division is continuing to develop the technology. A more capable and intelligent version of the robot will be able to contribute to more fields of Xiaomi’s manufacturing process. The company also reportedly plans to expand the application to various industries such as electronics, machinery, artificial intelligence and automobiles.
Reportedly, the project is expected to become Beijing’s first humanoid product development, manufacturing and application demonstration project.
Abilities of the CyberOne bipedal robot
The CyberOne is fitted with advanced arms and legs, supports bipedal-motion posture balancing, and reaches a peak torque of up to 300Nm. The company also demonstrated the robot’s ability to detect human emotion alongside having advanced vision capabilities. It can create a three-dimensional virtual reconstruction of the real world, alongside a host of other advanced technologies.
The robot measures 177cm in height and 52kg in weight, with an arm span of 168cm. It supports up to 21 degrees of freedom in motion and achieves a real-time response speed of 0.5ms for each degree of freedom, which allows it to fully simulate human movements. Thanks to the self-developed humanoid bipedal control algorithm, CyberOne’s walking posture has been programmed to be both natural and stable.
“With AI at its core and a full-size humanoid frame as its vessel, this is an exploration of possibilities of Xiaomi’s future technological ecosystem and a new breakthrough for the company,” said Lei Jun, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Xiaomi Group.
