Xiaomi has published footage of a full-size humanoid working on an eight-hour sorting task at its car factory. The November 3 update puts the robot at a workstation handling side covers for vehicle center consoles.

“8 hours on the production line.”

Xiaomi Tech, in its announcement

The company says the robot can detect and correct problems on its own while coordinating with the production-line system. The video shows legged robots working beside bins of parts. Xiaomi does not give a date for when the footage was recorded.

A longer test of an existing job

This was already one of Xiaomi’s factory tasks. Its 2026 interim report describes robots sorting center-console side covers in July and reports a 90 percent success rate at that workstation. That earlier figure belongs to the July work; it is not a measured success rate for the new eight-hour run.

Xiaomi has not published how many covers the robots sorted or how often people stepped in. The eight-hour task should not be read as eight hours of battery life or continuous work.
