en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 11, Xiaomi released a demonstration video on its official Weibo account showcasing a home car charging robotic arm. This robotic arm can connect with the vehicle to automatically insert and remove the charging gun during the charging process, requiring no manual intervention. The robotic arm is integrated with the charging pile into a compact box measuring 152 mm in width, making it suitable for installation in narrow parking spaces.

Currently, most common home charging piles are wall-mounted, requiring users to manually insert and remove the charging gun. Xiaomi's home car charging robotic arm aims to address this pain point.

The concept of a charging robotic arm is not entirely new. Li Auto and Harmony Intelligent Mobility have already applied this technology in their self-built charging stations. Harmony Intelligent Mobility's charging robotic arm is fixed to the ground and relatively large in size; Li Auto's charging robotic arm is separate from the charging pile and moves between multiple parking spaces via an overhead track, automatically grabbing the charging gun to charge vehicles in different spots, with lower construction costs.

Xiaomi's newly released charging robotic arm features several characteristics: compact size and slim box design for easy installation in private parking spaces; communication with the vehicle to enable automatic opening and closing of the charging port cover and gun insertion via the electric charging port cover; and integration with Xiaomi's human-vehicle-home ecosystem, allowing charging-related information to flow within the ecosystem—for example, users can check charging status through the Xiao AI smart speaker or remotely control the charging pile using devices such as a phone, TV, or tablet.
