Xiaomi’s CyberOne humanoid robot drew crowds of visitors and media at its first overseas exhibition during the IFA consumer electronics fair here, with the robot responding to onlookers with waves and victory signs.
The Chinese tech giant originally unveiled the full-size humanoid bionic robot, internally codenamed “Tie Da”, in August 2022. The first-generation model stands 177 cm tall, weighs 52 kg, and features 21 degrees of freedom with 0.5-millisecond real-time response, powered by Xiaomi’s self-developed bionic perception, biomechatronic fusion and artificial intelligence technologies.
This year, Xiaomi introduced a new-generation humanoid robot, also named “Tie Da”, which made its first public appearance at the World Robot Conference 2026 in Beijing. The new version stands approximately 170 cm tall, weighs 66 kg, and boasts 66 degrees of freedom – a significant upgrade in mobility and body structure compared with its predecessor.
Xiaomi founder Lei Jun said in a social media post that the new robot has been undergoing “internship” trials at the company’s automobile factory for several months, working on self-tapping nut assembly stations on both sides. The success rate has reportedly improved from 90.2% to 98%.
The CyberOne’s overseas debut underscores Xiaomi’s push into embodied intelligence and robotics, with the company positioning the platform for future applications in manufacturing and potentially consumer environments.
