Xiaomi Robot Completes Full Eight-Hour Shift as Board Prepares to Sign Off on Q3
Published on 11/11/2026 at 15:21 | Editorial boerse-global.de
Xiaomi's manufacturing ambitions moved a step closer to the factory floor this week, with the company confirming that a humanoid robot has worked a full eight-hour shift at a sorting station inside its own car plant. The disclosure, released on 3 November, marks the first time the unit has operated continuously for a complete working day, according to the company.
During the shift the robot corrected errors on its own and coordinated directly with the production system, Xiaomi said in a video documenting the trial. The machine's duties therefore extended beyond staffing the station to include autonomous fault correction and synchronisation with the wider manufacturing process. A separate test programme for household chores has also begun in Xiaomi youth apartments.
Open Whitepaper With Peking University
The robotics update came alongside a research collaboration. Xiaomi and Peking University published an industry-open whitepaper on the IoT device model, presented at the CCF China Software Conference. The document covers the device model underpinning the Internet of Things — the networking of connected hardware — and Xiaomi said it is contributing technical experience drawn from more than 1.16 billion AIoT devices.

October Deliveries Confirmed at 50,168
On the sales side, the CPCA industry association on Monday reported 50,168 wholesale deliveries for Xiaomi Auto in October 2026. Xiaomi itself had announced on 1 November that deliveries topped 50,000 vehicles without giving a precise figure; the association's release now provides a concrete wholesale number for the month. Founder and CEO Lei Jun added that all four Xiaomi models appeared in China's October sales ranking for vehicles priced above 200,000 yuan.
Reuters data puts cumulative deliveries from January through October at roughly 336,000 electric vehicles. Xiaomi is targeting 550,000 deliveries in total for 2026.
Analysts Flag Softer Quarter
Not every signal points upward. UOB Kay Hian forecast on 2 November a 6.7 percent year-on-year decline in third-quarter 2026 revenue to RMB 106 billion, with weaker IoT and EV sales expected to outweigh a stronger smartphone quarter.
The board is due to meet on 24 November 2026 to review and approve unaudited results covering both the third quarter and the nine months to 30 September 2026 — a date that also appears on the HKEX calendar. Shares slipped 1.3 percent to €3.43 in today's trading.
