Xiaomi Robotics CVPR 2026 ICRA 2026 World Action Model

Xiaomi's robotics team has achieved top rankings at two major international competitions – CVPR 2026 and ICRA 2026 – with models that far surpassed second-place entries. The team's WAM model 'my16' recorded a 40.89% success rate, the only model above 40%, while the ICRA benchmark saw a 94% overall success rate, leading by 10 percentage points.

Xiaomi’s robotics team has secured first place in two prestigious international competitions this year, with results that significantly outpaced the runners-up, the company’s founder and CEO Lei Jun announced on Thursday.

CVPR 2026 Workshops: RoboChallenge

At the CVPR 2026 Workshops – GigaBrain Challenge RoboChallenge Track, Xiaomi’s anonymously submitted model “my16” achieved a 40.89% success rate across 30 extremely difficult real-world tasks. This was the only model in the competition to break the 40% threshold, ranking first overall with a clear lead over all other entries.

The tasks included bimanual dexterous manipulation, covering flexible objects, tool causal reasoning, and cross-platform robustness. Each task required 10 consecutive uninterrupted tests, with participants submitting a unified multi-task model to test generalization capability.

The winning “my16” model is a World Action Model (WAM) developed in-house, featuring a “brain+ cerebellum + long-short term memory” architecture. It integrates three standout capabilities into one unified system:

  • S1/S2 dual-system architecture for cognitive depth,
  • Long-short term memory for long-horizon stability,
  • Cross-embodiment pre-training for controller-level execution precision.

This enables the model to combine the reasoning depth of large models with the execution accuracy of traditional controllers, while maintaining stability over extended operation sequences.

ICRA 2026 WBC: Supermarket Beverage Retrieval

In the ICRA 2026 Whole Body Control (WBC) competition, the challenge simulated a supermarket scenario. Robots had to recognize and pick specified beverages from shelves among 16 large categories and 20 subcategories of drinks, then place them into a shopping cart.

Xiaomi’s solution scored 99.2 points out of 100, near-perfect, with an overall success rate of 94% – the only entry exceeding 90% and a full 10 percentage points ahead of the second-place entry.

  • Simple tasks: 100% success rate
  • Complex tasks: 90% success rate

Lei Jun emphasized that the team’s direction is to bring robots into the physical world to perform real practical work.

For more technical details, Xiaomi Technology’s official Weibo account published a comprehensive breakdown of the models and competition results.

Xiaomi's dominant performance at CVPR and ICRA 2026 highlights the rapid evolution of Chinese AI research. Achieving top rankings is impressive, but the sheer scale of the victory—recording the only result above 40% in the WAM model benchmark and leading by 10 percentage points in the ICRA task—indicates a breakthrough in capability, not just incremental improvement. This proves that Chinese tech giants are shifting from consumer electronics manufacturing to becoming powerhouses in foundational robotics research. For the global AI community, this raises the bar for embodied intelligence and visual reasoning tasks. It is encouraging to witness such technical sophistication emerging from domestic teams, reinforcing that the frontier of AI development is truly global and competitive. Xiaomi has clearly demonstrated that they are a force to be reckoned with in the realm of advanced robotics.
