Lei Jun, founder, chairman, and CEO of Xiaomi, shared a video from the robotics team on Weibo today, admitting: “Pretty interesting.”
Everything is normal at the beginning of the video: a white Xiaomi robot is working in the factory, folding a portable storage box. After the white robot folds the box and casually pushes it to the side, the camera cuts to a selfie perspective.
Xiaomi officially announced new progress in the Xiaomi robot’s “internship”: After a quarter of effort, the success rate for both-sided operations at the self-tapping nut loading station has risen to 98%. Compared with the pass rate of manual operations, it is only 1% behind and has officially become a full-time employee.
At the same time, the robot has started a new “internship” role, exploring new workstations in the logistics area of the final assembly workshop: sorting center-console side covers and folding and recycling material boxes, both of which achieved a 90% success rate.
