On August 11, Xiaomi revealed their first humanoid robot—’CyberOne’, in their new product launch event in Beijing.

After the quadruped robot ‘Cyberdog’, CyberOne is capable of reaching a peak torque of up to 300 Nm and is equipped with advanced arms and legs, and supporting bipedal-motion posture balancing.

The humanoid robot also demonstrated the ability to detect human emotion, advanced vision capabilities, and the capability to create 3D virtual reconstructions of the real world along with various other advanced technologies.

CyberOne measures 177 cm in height and 52 kg in weight with an arm span of 168 cm. This humanoid robot requires more powerful motors compared to the CyberDog and supports 21 degrees of freedom in motion. It can also achieve a real-time response of speed of 0.5ms allowing it to simulate human-like movements.

In addition, the high-efficiency motor weighs only 500 g and the humanoid is able to hold upto 1.5 kg weight with one hand—enabling exceptional motion capabilities.

CyberOne is equipped with a self-developed Mi-Sense depth vision module combined with an AI interaction algorithm, which makes it capable of perceiving 3D space and recognising individuals, their gestures, and expressions. 

Additionally, the humanoid is equipped with MiAI environment semantics recognition engine and MiAI vocal emotion identification engine which enables it to recognise 85 types of environmental sounds and 45 classifications of human emotion ranging from detection of happiness to sadness—displaying it on a curved OLED module for real-time interactive information.

Lei Jun, founder, chairman, and CEO of Xiaomi Group, said that the AI and mechanical capabilities of CyberOne are all developed by their own Xiaomi Robotics Lab.
