en.Wedoany.com Reported - Xiaomi's humanoid robot has completed self-tapping nut installation tasks at its automobile factory. After a quarter of continuous operation and optimization, the success rate for bilateral operations reached 98%, just one percentage point lower than that of experienced workers. The initial success rate during testing was 90.2%.

The first task for these robots was to install self-tapping nuts on automotive floor components. This process requires each nut to be correctly aligned and positioned before automatic tightening; even a minor error could cause system jams or incomplete connections. After completing the initial "internship phase," the robots moved to the assembly line logistics area to perform new tasks, including removing center console side panels from containers and placing them onto other storage structures. These components are large, flexible, and irregularly shaped, requiring the robots to coordinate both arms and continuously adjust movements. Xiaomi stated that this marks the first time its robots have operated flexible automotive parts on a real production line for an extended period, with the task success rate exceeding 90%.

Additionally, the robots began folding and preparing storage boxes for recycling, which involves opening buckles, folding boxes, and stacking them, requiring precise coordination of both arms. The system can correct its trajectory and continue working when encountering stuck or slightly misaligned parts, rather than simply stopping. Currently, these robots are still in the testing phase, with some tasks requiring materials to be pre-placed in specific positions. By adopting more dexterous manipulators, artificial intelligence, and a system that senses finger positions and adjusts applied force, Xiaomi has gradually brought the robots' movements closer to those of human workers.
