Xiaomi announced a bipedal humanoid robot during the course of a release event for its foldable devices. The CyberOne is capable of recognizing 3D space and also identifying men and women, gestures, and expressions. The robot can distinguish 45 categories of human emotion and also comfort folks in times of gloominess. Xiaomi declares a variety of real-world roles for the bot, including things like manufacturing assistance and also human company.
Long since gone are the days when a consumer electronics organization could just simply introduce a smartphone and call it a day. At today’s major release function in Beijing, Xiaomi followed up its foldable phone news by giving the floor to CyberOne. This bipedal robot partnered with Lei Jun on the stage, greeting the boss and giving him a flower.
Upon first sight, the robot is not exactly spritely, in whens it come to locomotion, yet it’s still a promising demo and very much not a person in a spandex disguise. It’s the latest indicator of Xiaomi’s growing robotics goals, which began with vacuums and have since expanded to include 2021’s Spot-esque CyberDog.
We’ve witnessed plenty of consumer brands flex their robotic prowess at events such as this, such as Samsung and also LG, therefore it is tough to figure out where CyberOne falls in the spectrum between serious intent and stage performance.
Lei Jun was fast to talk about the company’s financial investment in the niche stating that CyberOne’s AI and mechanical capabilities are entirely self-developed by Xiaomi Robotics Lab. He said the company has committed heavily in research and development covering various sectors, including software applications, equipment as well as algorithms development.
I was both nervous and thrilled to interact with him on stage. What did you think of his performance tonight? #CyberOne pic.twitter.com/Je1eXDYEGR

There is an exceptionally broad range of assertions here, such as the capability to read people’s emotions. Xiaomi notes that humanoid robots depend on sight to understand their surroundings. Equipped with a self-developed Mi-Sense depth vision module and also combined with an AI interaction algorithm, CyberOne is up to the task of perceiving 3D space, as well as recognizing individuals, motions, as well as expressions, making it possible for it to not only see but to process its surroundings. In order to communicate with the world, CyberOne is furnished with a self-developed MiAI environment semantics recognition system and a MiAI vocal emotion identification system, making it possible for it to distinguish 85 types of environmental noises and 45 classifications of human emotion. CyberOne has the ability to identify joy and happiness, as well as even comfort the person throughout of unhappiness. Each one of these qualities are integrated into CyberOne’s processing units, which in turn are paired with a curved OLED module to display real-time interactive details.
Equally broad are the pledged real-world applications, ranging from manufacturing assistance to human comradeship. There certainly will be plenty of use for the two of these capability sets in the near future, but that’s a long way from this demonstration. For the moment, it probably makes the most sense to look at CyberOne as something of an analog to, say, Honda’s Asimo: an encouraging study that works as an excellent brand ambassador for some of the effort being carried out behind the scenes.
