The competition in the field of robotics is fierce, with numerous tech companies vying to advance their R&D departments. Xiaomi is one such company and is set to impress at MWC 2023, showcasing their four-legged robot dog, CyberDog, and humanoid robot, CyberOne. MWC is set to be hosted on February 27, 2023. While these robots are not new, with CyberDog debuting in 2021 and CyberOne in the previous year, it is possible that they may soon be available on the international market.

The CyberOne robot is fitted with a Mi-Sense depth vision module and combined with an AI interaction algorithm, giving it the ability to perceive 3D space and recognize individuals, gestures, and expressions. With a self-developed MiAI environment semantics recognition engine and a MiAI vocal emotion identification engine, CyberOne can recognize 85 types of environmental sounds and 45 classifications of human emotions. Its processing units, coupled with a curved OLED module, allow for real-time interactive information to be displayed.

The Cyberdog, powered by NVIDIA‘s Jetson Xavier NX platform and equipped with 11 built-in sensors, is much smaller than the Boston Dynamics‘ quadruped and is priced at approximately $1,540. At the time of its launch, CyberDog could be controlled in three ways – via the mobile phone app, voice control, and a remote control sold separately. Only a handful of Xiaomi phones, including the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition, Redmi K40, Redmi K30 5G, Redmi 10X Pro, Redmi 10X, and Mi MIX 2S were supported at the time of the reveal. Xiaomi had stated that compatibility for more devices would be added in the future.

Xiaomi plans to release 1,000 of these robots, which is significantly less than the advanced Spot system. It is important to note that the limited functionality and availability of these robots suggest that the company is not yet trying to place a Cyberdog or CyberOne in every home. Rather, Xiaomi’s focus is on building hardware for NVIDIA’s platform, providing an affordable way for people to learn programming and prototype robotics.

In August 2022, Xiaomi unveiled its full-scale humanoid bionic robot, CyberOne. Standing at 177cm tall and weighing 52kg, the robot impressed with its ability to perform human-like movements. To demonstrate the capabilities of its state-of-the-art product, the company taught CyberOne how to play the drums.

Xiaomi trains CyberOne to play drums

Xiaomi’s full-size humanoid robot, CyberOne, has been trained to play drums. The robot was able to complete its drum performance in three steps. First, it automatically parsed out the beat from an input Midi music file to generate a drum sequence. Then, using an offline motion library and online calibration, a motion trajectory synchronized with the drum sequence was generated. Finally, the robot’s body was controlled to complete each movement through a whole-body controller.

According to reports, the most difficult part of CyberOne’s drum performance was playing long sequences of drum rhythms, as it had to ensure that its movements were continuous and collision-free. To solve this problem, the team at Xiaomi Robotics Lab extracted the basic beat and then optimized it by building an offline drum beat motion track library. This allowed CyberOne to generate a continuous track that was consistent with any drum beat.

CyberOne’s ability to play the drums is a testament to its ability to coordinate its whole body and perform fast, accurate, and wide-ranging movements. However, the robot’s drumming skills are not yet on par with those of professional drummers. The team at Xiaomi is working on improving CyberOne’s locomotion and manipulation abilities in the second generation of the robot.

However, robots playing drums is not a new concept. In fact, there is an all-robot band called “Compressorhead” from Germany, which features a drummer with four arms. However, CyberOne is the first full-scale humanoid bionic robot to be trained in this skill.
