  "account": "Xiaomi unveiled its first humanoid robot, named Tieda, at the 2026 World Robot Conference after training it for four months inside its electric vehicle factory. Standing at 1.70 meters tall and weighing 66kg, Tieda boasts 66 degrees of freedom across its body, with half of them dedicated to its hands for more precise manipulation. During factory training, the robot's success rate for dual-side self-tapping nut installation increased from 90.2% to 98%, nearly matching the 99% qualification rate of human workers. Additionally, Tieda achieved 90% success rates in sorting center-console side panels and folding and recycling material bins. It demonstrated three hours of continuous operation at the nut-installation workstation while meeting the factory's 76-second production-line cycle. Tieda autonomously completes more complex tasks, such as bending forward, reaching into a container, transferring a panel between its hands, adjusting its grip, and placing the part into the correct position. The robot's capabilities are powered by Xiaomi's Robotics AI, built upon the open-source Vision-Language-Action model and the 38-billion-parameter autoregressive world foundation model designed for embodied AI and robot-training data generation. While Xiaomi has invested significantly in AI and robotics, with a 9.2 billion yuan ($1.4 billion) R&D expenditure in Q2 2026, the company has not yet planned to commercialize Tieda. Instead, the robot remains at the prototype and internal-validation stage, with Xiaomi focusing on improving factory efficiency and advancing humanoid robot technology for the future, particularly in smart factories and the broader Human × Car × Home ecosystem.",
