Humanoid Robot Battery Production — CATL Achieves A World First

First of all, yes, these humanoid robots have apparently replaced human workers. In fact, one robot’s daily workload is reportedly triple that of a human worker….

These humanoid robots are being deployed at CATL’s battery factory in Luoyang, Henan. “CATL (HKG: 3750, SHE: 300750) has become the world’s first battery manufacturer to deploy humanoid robots at scale in battery pack production, replacing human labor in several critical processes,” CnEVPost writes. “Named ‘Xiaomo’ (or Little Mo), the humanoid robot can now precisely execute complex tasks like battery connector insertion, marking a milestone breakthrough in applying embodied intelligence to manufacturing, the company said.” (Note that another Chinese site, CarNewsChina, “The humanoid robot autonomously handles uncertainties like material position deviations and connection point variations, dynamically adjusting its operational posture in real time. When inserting or removing flexible wiring harnesses, it dynamically modulates force to ensure reliable connections without damaging components.”

CarNewsChina adds: “According to CATL, the robot excels in three key areas:
