Value proposition
Xiaomi-Robotics-1 is a ready-to-use robot foundation model trained on 100K+ hours of real-world manipulation trajectories, enabling out-of-the-box mobile manipulation in unseen environments and data-efficient adaptation to new tasks.
Products and solutions
Xiaomi-Robotics-1 (VLA foundation model, open-sourced), Xiaomi-Robotics-U0 (38B unified embodied synthesis world model), Xiaomi-Robotics-0 (first-gen VLA model), CyberOne humanoid robot, CyberDog quadruped robot.
Unique value
Two-stage training paradigm (embodiment-free UMI pre-training + cross-embodiment post-training) that breaks the robot-data scarcity bottleneck, achieving state-of-the-art results on RoboCasa, RoboCasa365, VLABench, and RoboDojo benchmarks.
Target customer
Robotics developers, embodied-AI researchers, and enterprises building general-purpose robot manipulation systems.
Industries served
Robotics / Embodied AI, consumer electronics, smart manufacturing (Xiaomi EV automobile factories), autonomous driving.
Technology advantage
Couples a pre-trained VLM (Qwen3-VL) with a Diffusion-Transformer (DiT) via Mixture-of-Transformers (MoT); scalable auto-labeling pipeline; real-time optimized inference; built on Hugging Face transformers ecosystem optimized for consumer GPUs.
How they differentiate
Emphasis on large-scale embodiment-free (UMI) pre-training to break the data bottleneck, with clean scaling behavior that transfers to real-robot performance; open-sourced full pipeline including post-training, deployment, and benchmark evaluation code.
Main competitors
Physical Intelligence (π0/π0.5), Figure AI, AgiBot/other Chinese embodied-AI VLA model developers.
Key partnerships
Built on Qwen3-VL (Alibaba) as the pre-trained VLM backbone, open-sourced via Hugging Face and ModelScope.
Notable customers
Xiaomi's own EV automobile factories (humanoid robots deployed for parts handling and material transport), open-source community.
Major milestones
Founded 2010, IPO on Hong Kong Stock Exchange July 2018 (raised $4.72B), launched CyberDog (2021) and CyberOne humanoid (2022), released Xiaomi-Robotics-0 VLA model (Feb 2026), released and open-sourced Xiaomi-Robotics-1 (July/Aug 2026), humanoid robots began "internship" in Xiaomi EV factories (2026).
Growth metrics
Public company listed on HKEX (ticker 1810.HK); market cap ~HK$714B; 2026 Q1 revenue RMB99.1 billion.
Market positioning
A major Chinese tech corporation entering the embodied-AI foundation model space, leveraging its in-house robotics (CyberOne/CyberDog) and EV manufacturing operations for real-robot data and deployment.
Geographic focus
China (primary), with global open-source distribution via GitHub/Hugging Face.
Patents and IP
Open-sourced under Apache-2.0 license on GitHub (XiaomiRobotics/Xiaomi-Robotics-1) and Hugging Face; technical report arXiv:2607.15330.
