Midea's MIRO U humanoid robot fastens screws on 100,000 washing machines
Overview
Midea's six-arm humanoid robot MIRO U has worked for more than three months at its Wuxi washing machine factory and has fastened back-panel screws on 100,000 machines.
A KUKA embodied robotics executive gave the figure during a Guangdong government media tour in mid to late October. At Midea's Shunde lab in Foshan, reporters watched the robot drive screws at an average of six every 10 seconds, with a reported task success rate of 99.8 percent.
Midea says the six arms match skilled workers' output per floor area. The report also says more than 2,000 humanoid robots were working in Guangdong factories as of September.
