Xiaomi CyberOne Price 2026: Cost, Is It For Sale & What It Is

Xiaomi's CyberOne has never been priced, never been for sale, and has no order channel anywhere. Every "price" you have seen for it descends from one statement: Lei Jun said at the August 2022 unveiling that each unit cost 600,000 to 700,000 yuan to build, which is exactly why Xiaomi said mass production was not feasible. Converted at 2022 rates, that produced the "$89,000 to $104,000" in Western coverage; spec databases separately list "$70,000 to $80,000" as a cost line without showing a derivation. A production-cost lament has been circulating as a price tag for four years.

The bigger correction is about the robot's fate. Most of what ranks for this search is frozen in August 2022 and treats CyberOne as a one-keynote wonder. It is not. The program came back: a second-generation CyberOne debuted at Xiaomi's Investor Day in April 2026, humanoids have been running pilot shifts in Xiaomi's Beijing EV plant, and Lei Jun posted factory footage of them working an assembly line as recently as July 15, 2026. Still not a product, still nothing you can buy, but very much alive. This page covers the whole arc, with each claim dated.

First, untangle the names

Half the confusion around "Xiaomi robot price" comes from mixing these up. The robot dog is a real product you can pay for. The humanoid is not, and the nicknames are one letter apart in transliteration, so even robotics coverage swaps them. CyberOne is Tie Da; the dog is Tie Dan.

The CyberOne timeline, 2022 to 2026

The March 2025 row is the pivot for reading everything else. When the maximal story, "CyberOne is entering mass production", circulated, Xiaomi itself shot it down. What Xiaomi actually claims is narrower and more interesting: pilot shifts, measured success rates, and a five-year horizon it keeps repeating.

Original CyberOne specs, and the V2 gap

Those are Xiaomi's own launch figures. Third-party spec databases such as Robots Guide add detail, an Intel RealSense head camera, roughly 2.5 hours of battery, but the launch sheet is the official record. For the V2 shown in April 2026, there is no official spec sheet at all: the height, speed and payload numbers circulating for it trace to fan posts, not Xiaomi, and should be treated as provisional until the company publishes one. What Xiaomi-affiliated engineering disclosures do describe is the new hand: 22-plus degrees of freedom at true adult-hand scale, full-palm tactile coverage, and a metal-3D-printed "sweat gland" cooling system that evaporates coolant through the forearm to shed motor heat.

The price truth

There has never been a CyberOne price. Not in 2022, not for the V2, not anywhere in between. The figures in circulation all descend from one sentence: Lei Jun's launch-day statement that each unit cost ¥600,000 to ¥700,000 to build. Convert that at 2022 rates and you get the "$89,000 to $104,000" repeated by Western coverage; spec databases separately list "$70,000 to $80,000" as an undated cost entry with no derivation shown. Sites presenting any of these as a price tag, and at least one headline flatly calls it an "$89K price tag", are quoting a manufacturing cost given as the reason the robot was not commercialized. Xiaomi's own position has not changed since: as of the March 2026 MWC remarks, it "is currently not selling the product", and no order channel, waitlist or quote form has ever existed.

The factory story, honestly told

What makes this program interesting in 2026 is not a spec sheet, it is that Xiaomi turned its humanoid work into an internal factory experiment and published numbers. One precision note: Xiaomi's own corporate disclosures describe the pilot units as its "embodied robots" without naming the model, so treat "CyberOne on the line" as the program's shorthand rather than a confirmed model designation. In the pilots at the Beijing EV plant, humanoids installed self-tapping nuts on the line at a 90.2% success rate across a three-hour continuous autonomous run, keeping pace with the plant's 76-second per-car takt. They run on Xiaomi-Robotics-0, an in-house vision-language-action model trained on some 200 million robot action steps, with a tactile-refinement layer for the fine work.

Read both halves of that honestly. Keeping takt on a real line for three hours is a genuine result few humanoid programs have published. And 90.2% is far below the 99-plus percent expected of a human line worker, which is why Lu Weibing's own word for the robots was "interns", and why the company's stated horizon for real internal deployment is measured in years, not quarters. The failure mode for readers is collapsing "pilot with published success rates" into "robots run Xiaomi's factory". Xiaomi denied exactly that story in March 2025, and its own executives still describe trials.

Where CyberOne fits in Xiaomi's plans

Xiaomi's robotics unit is physically co-located with its Beijing EV factory, and the humanoid program is now effectively part of the EV story: the same plant that crossed half a million vehicles is the training ground. Lei Jun's stated direction is that the factory floor teaches the robot the skills that eventually matter in homes, with large-scale internal deployment "within five years" as the repeated line. A correction worth making because it circulates: AgiBot's disclosed backers through July 2026 do not include Xiaomi, despite the two often being linked. Xiaomi's disclosed external robotics investments run through its investment arms and include industrial robot-intelligence firm Xiaoyu Zhizao, embodied-AI developer X Square Robot, and bipedal-robot maker RoboParty.

If you came here wanting a robot you can actually buy, the honest redirect list is short: Xiaomi's own CyberDog 2 at ¥12,999 if a quadruped scratches the itch, or the genuinely purchasable humanoids, led by Unitree's G1 and R1, which we rank in our best humanoid robots guide with real prices in the humanoid robot cost breakdown.

The bottom line

CyberOne is the rare 2022 keynote robot that neither shipped nor died. It was never for sale, and the four-year-old "price" attached to it is a production-cost quote at various exchange rates. What it became is arguably more credible than a product launch would have been: an internal factory program with published pilot numbers, a second-generation body shown in April 2026, and fresh assembly-line footage from Lei Jun himself in July 2026. Judge it as that: not a purchase decision, but one of the more transparent factory-humanoid experiments running, with Xiaomi's own executives supplying the caveats. When a price finally exists, it will come from Xiaomi, and this page will carry it.
