SAEDNES: Chinese Company Midea Unveils Humanoid, Wheeled Robot MIRO U with Six Arms, Capable of Performing Three Tasks Simultaneously
According to the Technology Desk of Saed News Agency, Chinese technology giant Midea Group has unveiled MIRO U, the world’s first six-armed, wheeled humanoid robot. Equipped with six fully actuated, independent bionic limbs, the robot is designed to dramatically boost efficiency in industrial environments.
Wei Chang, Midea’s Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, emphasized that MIRO U’s core value lies in moving beyond merely imitating the human form to achieving a leap in operational efficiency. Unlike conventional two-armed designs, MIRO U can perform three tasks simultaneously. With the ability to rotate 360 degrees in place and a stable vertical lifting system, it can replace multiple human workers or separate machines at workstations originally designed for humans.
MIRO U has begun transitioning from testing to real-world deployment. By the end of the current month, the robot is set to enter a pilot production line at Midea’s high-end washing machine factory in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province.
Midea estimates that once fully integrated, MIRO U could increase production line efficiency and output by approximately 30 percent. Its ability to handle heavy components with its lower limbs while performing delicate assembly and precision screw-fastening with its upper limbs allows the robot to surpass human physical limitations—positioning MIRO U as a true “super humanoid” for industrial use.
