Breaking Boundaries with MIRO: Midea’s Leap into Humanoid Robotics

At Midea Group, innovation isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a challenge we embrace daily. One of their most ambitious projects recently came to life thanks to the relentless efforts of Dr. Zhengxue Zhou and his team: MIRO, our fully self-developed humanoid robot, has officially joined the production line.

But getting MIRO to operate autonomously wasn’t easy. Pre-set commands fell short of the complexity required on the factory floor. So the team went deeper—analyzing sensor and vision data, refining AI models, and running countless tests to close the gap between concept and capability.

💡 The result? MIRO learned to grasp sheet metal parts and feed them into the line with precision—entirely on its own.

This breakthrough earned our Jingzhou Washing Machine Factory a WRCA World Record for multi-scenario AI agent coverage. It’s a testament to what happens when bold ideas meet real-world execution.

“At Midea, we turn bold ideas into machines that actually work,” says Dr. Zhou.

And MIRO is just the beginning
