Xiaomi unveiled the CyberOne, its first humanoid robot in 2022, which is reportedly equipped with high power density actuators. It joins the company’s Cyber series robots – the CyberDog and CyberDog 2.

Now the latest news is that Xiaomi Robotics is currently actively promoting a phased implementation of the robot in its own manufacturing system. According to the company, the intelligence of the robots could be utilized in specific scenarios of its manufacturing process.

Xiaomi reportedly envisions building an open-source platform through technological innovations and breakthroughs.

The division is continuing to develop the technology. A more capable and intelligent version of the robot will be able to contribute to more fields of Xiaomi’s manufacturing process. The company also reportedly plans to expand the application to various industries such as electronics, machinery, artificial intelligence and automobiles.

Reportedly, the project is expected to become Beijing’s first humanoid product development, manufacturing and application demonstration project.

Abilities of the CyberOne bipedal robot

The CyberOne is fitted with advanced arms and legs, supports bipedal-motion posture balancing, and reaches a peak torque of up to 300Nm. The company also demonstrated the robot’s ability to detect human emotion alongside having advanced vision capabilities. It can create a three-dimensional virtual reconstruction of the real world, alongside a host of other advanced technologies.

The robot measures 177cm in height and 52kg in weight, with an arm span of 168cm. It supports up to 21 degrees of freedom in motion and achieves a real-time response speed of 0.5ms for each degree of freedom, which allows it to fully simulate human movements. Thanks to the self-developed humanoid bipedal control algorithm, CyberOne’s walking posture has been programmed to be both natural and stable.

“With AI at its core and a full-size humanoid frame as its vessel, this is an exploration of possibilities of Xiaomi’s future technological ecosystem and a new breakthrough for the company,” said Lei Jun, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Xiaomi Group.

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.

Xiaomi announced a bunch of new products at today’s event and to be honest they were all pretty cool. However, what impressed us the most is Xiaomi’s first full-size humanoid robot called CyberOne. Of course, this is not the first time the Chinese tech giant has launched a robotic product. The company previously unveiled a CyberDog, which, as the name suggests, is inspired by our furry friend.

As per the company, CyberOne is a full-scale humanoid bionic robot that is 177cm tall and weighs 52kg. It has been nicknamed “Metal bro” and somehow it also has been given a zodiac sign, Leo. The robot’s face is made of a curved OLED panel and it can see the world in 3D. For hearing, it has two microphones.

It is equipped with Xiaomi’s self-developed whole-body control algorithm, which can coordinate the movement of 21 joints. Further, the humanoid robot can interpret 45 human semantic emotions and distinguish 85 environmental semantics. The robot is claimed to learn new skills each day.

The CyberOne humanoid robot, according to Xiaomi, combines sophisticated mechatronics and artificial intelligence created by the company’s specialized Robot Labs. The company claims that significant resources and labor were used to build the CyberOne.

CyberOne is just a first-gen product and most of its aspects are still in the development stage. It’s still no on far with the robots of Boston Dynamics. However, the robot has definitely beaten Tesla’s humanoid prototype.

Robots still feel like a fragment of a dystopian dream but the recent innovations in the field suggest that the future is going to be full of automated gadgets and robots. Like it or not, Robots will become a part of daily lives very soon.

Xiaomi’s CyberOne Robot would cost somewhere in the range of 600,000 to 700,000 yuan (about $89,100 to $104,000) and it’s not commercialized yet.
