Technical notes4 sectionsEvent
Xiaomi showcased CyberOne V2 during its Investor Day event in Beijing on April 27, 2026, where the robot performed social tasks including handing out gift bags, offering high-fives, and making heart-shaped hand gestures to attendees. Coverage described the appearance as functioning similarly to event staff rather than as a scripted stage demo.
Hardware
V2 carries over the redesigned bionic hand shown weeks earlier, with 22 to 27 degrees of freedom and the roughly 60 percent hand-volume reduction that brings its proportions closer to human scale. The same sweat-gland liquid-cooling system manages heat from the hand’s motors during sustained use.
Shift in Application
The Investor Day appearance followed CyberOne’s earlier industrial validation work, including a reported 90.2 percent success rate in a three-hour automotive nut-installation pilot at a Beijing EV facility, where the platform had been described as functioning in an internship-style role. The V2 demonstration moved the platform from a single industrial task to unscripted social interaction with a live audience.
Disclosure Status
Xiaomi has not released official specifications, pricing, or a commercial availability date for CyberOne V2, and coverage of the event did not report a unit count for the demonstration.

Xiaomi redesigns CyberOne's bionic hand with tactile sensing and sweat-gland cooling
Xiaomi introduced a redesigned bionic hand for CyberOne in late March 2026, cutting its volume by roughly 60 percent and adding full-palm tactile sensing across 8,200 square millimeters.

Technical notes5 sectionsRedesign Overview
Xiaomi introduced a redesigned bionic hand for CyberOne in late March 2026, reducing the hand’s dimensions from 228x105x64 mm to 187x88x36 mm, a roughly 60 percent volume reduction that brings the hand closer to human scale.
Tactile Sensing
Full-palm tactile sensor coverage expanded to 8,200 square millimeters, extending sensing across the fingertips, finger pads, and palm rather than fingertips alone. Coverage describes this as enabling the hand to register pressure and contact across its entire surface rather than at isolated points.
Thermal Management
The hand packs more than 20 motors into a human-sized housing, a density that Xiaomi says previously caused localized overheating. It addresses this with 3D-printed metal channels modeled on human sweat glands, evaporating roughly half a milliliter of water per minute to dissipate about 10 watts of heat generated by the motors during sustained operation.
Durability
Xiaomi reported the cooling system extends the hand’s operating life to more than 150,000 grasping cycles, a roughly 15-fold improvement over hands that Xiaomi says typically fail after about 10,000 cycles from heat buildup.
Context
Coverage of the redesign ties it to CyberOne’s earlier automotive assembly-line pilot work, framing the durability gain as relevant to the sustained, repetitive grasping that factory tasks require.

Launch Event
Xiaomi unveiled CyberOne at a product launch event in Beijing on August 11, 2022, presented by founder and CEO Lei Jun. The robot is Xiaomi’s first full-size bipedal humanoid, developed separately from the company’s existing CyberDog quadruped line.
Physical Specifications
CyberOne stands 177 cm tall and weighs 52 kg. Xiaomi disclosed a peak joint torque of up to 300 Nm and demonstrated bipedal-motion posture balancing on stage.
Sensing and Perception
The robot uses a self-developed Mi-Sense depth vision module paired with an AI algorithm Xiaomi says can classify 45 categories of human emotion from voice and facial expression and recognize 85 types of environmental sound. Xiaomi also demonstrated real-time 3D reconstruction of the robot’s surroundings.
Development
Xiaomi Robotics Lab developed CyberOne’s hardware, software, and algorithms in-house. At the announcement, Xiaomi did not disclose a commercial release date, and the robot was shown as a single demonstration unit rather than a production model.
