Xiaomi Cyberone Humanoid Robot

Most humanoid robots are judged by what they can lift or how far they can walk. The Xiaomi Cyberone Humanoid Robot asks to be judged by what it notices. It was built at human scale but conceived first as a perceptive presence: a machine that gauges depth, picks out the sounds of a room and registers the emotional state of the person in front of it before it acts. Its most ambitious engineering sits in its senses rather than its limbs, and that makes it an unusual reference point among full-size humanoids.

Robots Europa, based in Dublin, handles enquiries about CyberOne for organisations across the European Union and the DACH region. Xiaomi presents CyberOne as a research prototype and technology demonstrator rather than a catalogue product. Robots Europa therefore begins every enquiry with a clear assessment of what can be sourced. Quotation, delivery and support then follow for whatever is agreed.

Background

Xiaomi's Robotics Lab and the road from CyberDog

Xiaomi is best known for smartphones and connected consumer devices. Over the past several years it has also built an in-house robotics capability, and its Robotics Lab is the group that brings that work to the public. CyberOne is the second product from Xiaomi's Robotics Lab, following the CyberDog quadruped. The progression is telling. A four-legged platform is a natural first step in legged robotics, because it is inherently more stable. A bipedal humanoid is a far harder balancing problem, and it brings the robot into spaces and interactions designed around people.

CyberOne therefore reads less as a product line and more as a statement of direction. It shows a consumer-technology company testing how its experience in sensors, displays and artificial intelligence might translate into a robot shaped like a person.

A demonstrator built around perception

Humanoid robots depend on vision to make sense of their surroundings. Xiaomi equipped CyberOne with its in-house Mi-Sense depth vision module, paired with an AI interaction algorithm. These capabilities are integrated into the robot's processing units and joined by a curved OLED module that displays real-time interactive information. In practice, this gives CyberOne a face that can show what it is doing.

On the mechanical side, Xiaomi developed its own upper limb joint motor rather than relying solely on off-the-shelf actuators. The exterior is a matte white colour finish with dark joints. The design is deliberately approachable, in keeping with a robot intended to interact with people rather than work behind a safety fence.

Technical Specifications

Xiaomi has not published the battery capacity, battery runtime, charging time, ingress protection rating, connectivity, operating system, processor, package contents or software compatibility; each of these is confirmed at quotation.

What makes CyberOne different from a conventional industrial humanoid?

Many full-size humanoids are presented through their working credentials: payload, shift length and the tasks they can take over on a production line. CyberOne is presented through its perception. It recognises 45 classifications of human emotion and 85 types of environmental sounds. Its Mi-Sense depth vision module is specified at 99% depth accuracy within 8 m. It hears through a dual-microphone voice recognition system. These are the capabilities of a robot designed to understand a room and the people in it.

Its physical figures support that reading. A single hand holds up to 1.5 kg, which suits handling light objects during interaction rather than heavy material transfer. The mechanical engineering is nonetheless substantial. CyberOne reaches a peak torque of up to 300Nm and a peak torque density of 96 Nm/kg, and its upper limb joint motor weighs 500 g with a rated output torque of up to 30Nm. With up to 21 degrees of freedom, each responding in 0.5ms, it has the joint control a bipedal platform needs to keep its balance while walking at 3.6 km/hour.

The OLED face completes the difference. Where an industrial machine signals its status through indicator lights or a separate terminal, CyberOne shows real-time interactive information on its own face. That makes the exchange between robot and person part of the design rather than an afterthought.

What do we know about CyberOne V2?

The sources name a second generation, CyberOne V2, but no specifications for it have been released. Every figure on this page belongs to the original CyberOne (2022) and should not be read as describing its successor. Organisations interested specifically in the second generation are welcome to raise it with Robots Europa. Any information that becomes available will be set out with the quotation, clearly separated from the figures for the 2022 model.

Who is the Xiaomi Cyberone Humanoid Robot for?

CyberOne is a research prototype, so its natural audience is organisations that study robots rather than those that need one to take over a defined task tomorrow. University laboratories working on human-robot interaction, affective computing or bipedal locomotion will recognise in it a coherent set of design choices worth examining. Corporate innovation teams tracking how consumer-technology companies approach humanoid robotics will find it an instructive case. Museums, science centres and technology exhibitions may value it as a demonstrator of where the field has been heading.

Buyers whose priority is a deployable working robot, with documented runtime, protection ratings and an established support ecosystem, should weigh CyberOne against the wider range of Bipedal Humanoids and the broader Humanoids category. Robots Europa can help compare the options on the basis of each manufacturer's documentation.

What is the Xiaomi Cyberone Humanoid Robot used for?

1. Human-robot interaction research: studying how people respond to a human-scale robot with an expressive OLED face.
2. Affective computing studies: exploring how robots classify and react to human emotional states.
3. Acoustic scene awareness: examining how robots interpret environmental sounds through dual-microphone voice recognition.
4. Depth perception benchmarking: evaluating an in-house depth vision approach against other humanoid sensing systems.
5. Exhibition and demonstration: showing visitors and stakeholders how a consumer-technology company envisions humanoid robotics.
6. Comparative humanoid evaluation: serving as a reference design when assessing actuator, balance and interaction strategies across platforms.

Pricing and Availability

CyberOne is listed as a research prototype that is not commercially available. Robots Europa therefore treats every enquiry as a quotation request and first establishes what can realistically be supplied. Delivery, customs and support are arranged with the quotation. To begin that conversation and receive a considered answer for your organisation, use the quotation request available on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CyberOne commercially available?

Xiaomi describes CyberOne as a research prototype and technology demonstrator, and it is not commercially available. Robots Europa establishes what can be sourced as part of each quotation.

How large is CyberOne?

CyberOne stands 177 cm tall, weighs 52 kg and has an arm span of 168 cm.

How many degrees of freedom does CyberOne have?

It supports up to 21 degrees of freedom in motion, with a response speed of 0.5ms for each degree of freedom.

What can CyberOne recognise?

It detects 45 classifications of human emotion and recognises 85 types of environmental sounds. It perceives its surroundings through the Mi-Sense depth vision module and listens through dual-microphone voice recognition.

What does CyberOne look like?

CyberOne has a matte white colour finish with dark joints. Its face is a curved OLED module that displays real-time interactive information.

Is there a newer version of CyberOne?

The sources name a second generation, CyberOne V2. The figures on this page apply to CyberOne (2022) only.

Where can I buy the Xiaomi Cyberone Humanoid Robot and what does it cost?

Enquiries are handled by Robots Europa for customers in the EU and the DACH region. Pricing is given only by individual quotation, which also sets out what can be supplied, given the robot's prototype status.

Summary

CyberOne makes the case that a humanoid can be defined by its perception as much as by its strength. Xiaomi's Robotics Lab followed the CyberDog with a bipedal robot whose depth vision, emotion and sound recognition, and expressive OLED face are the centre of the design. Its actuators and balance control exist to carry those senses through human spaces. For research teams, innovation departments and exhibitors who want to understand that approach, and who accept that this is a prototype rather than a production machine, Robots Europa offers a considered route to an answer, and this page is the starting point.
