I thought that the first company in the industry to launch a humanoid robot would be Tesla, after all, it had laid so much groundwork in the early stages, but I didn't expect it would be Xiaomi.
How far do you think humanoid robots are from becoming widely available to us?
What do you most expect humanoid robots of the future to do: replace humans, serve humans, or surpass humans?
On the evening of August 11, Xiaomi held its autumn new product launch conference. In addition to traditional digital products, such as the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 folding phone, Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro, and Redmi K50 Extreme Edition, the biggest highlight of this conference came from Xiaomi’s first full-size humanoid bionic robot - "CyberOne". Perhaps in order to highlight its importance, Xiaomi put this humanoid robot at the finale of the launch.
CyberOne is a new member of Xiaomi's Cyber family of robots following last year's Xiaomi bionic quadruped robot dog Cyberdog. Internally, CyberOne is nicknamed "Iron Big". It is 1.77 meters tall and weighs 52kg. Lei Jun said that humanoid robots need to break through many key technologies, and the cost of each unit is as high as 600,000 to 700,000 yuan, and mass production is not yet possible.
The official calls CyberOne a "more human-like robot" with high emotional intelligence and the ability to perceive human emotions, visual acuity, and the ability to reconstruct the real world in three dimensions, a well-developed "cerebellum" that can achieve bipedal posture balance, strong limbs, and a peak torque of 300Nm. It supports up to 21 degrees of freedom and can achieve real-time response of 0.5 milliseconds for each degree of freedom, simulating various human movements.
Compared with the previous Cyberdog, CyberOne is more difficult to develop. Taking the upper limb joint motor as an example, Xiaomi has developed a motor weighing only 500 grams and with a rated output torque of 30Nm to ensure the flexibility of the upper limbs. The instantaneous peak torque of its main hip joint motor can reach 300Nm, and with the self-developed humanoid bipedal control algorithm, the walking posture is more stable. In other aspects, CyberOne supports holding 1.5 kg weights in one hand, dragging the upper limbs in the opposite direction to reproduce movements, and other functions.
In addition to the mechanical part, CyberOne is equipped with Xiaomi's self-developed Mi-Sense deep vision module, combined with AI algorithms, which enables the giant to have complete three-dimensional spatial perception capabilities, and can also realize character identity recognition, gesture recognition, and expression recognition functions. Lei Jun said at the press conference that "it can not only see but also understand."
