Xiaomi has introduced Xiaomi-Robotics-1, its first foundation model for embodied AI and robotics, positioning it as a production-ready system for a range of robots.
According to the company, the model was trained on 100,000 hours of real-world data. It combines large-scale pretraining with follow-up training across different robotic platforms, an approach Xiaomi says lets the system handle a variety of mobile manipulation tasks in previously unseen real-world environments.
Xiaomi says Xiaomi-Robotics-1 posted strong results on widely used robotics AI evaluation platforms, taking first place in the RoboCasa365 and RoboDojo rankings.
