Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Xiaomi is deploying humanoid robots to their production lines#Xiaomi #humanoidrobots #robots #ai

Factories already have carts and forklifts, so what do humanoid legs add? Electrek.co opens its Xiaomi Short with that practical objection before getting to the more interesting question: can a robot recognize and fix its own mistakes?

The report describes Xiaomi footage of robots sorting parts through an eight-hour shift at its EV plant. Tesla's Optimus and Boston Dynamics machines provide context, but the narrator puts generalized learning above the spectacle of a machine walking upright. There is a useful caveat, too: Xiaomi has not disclosed sorting volumes, overall success rates or how often humans needed to intervene.

At roughly 63,000 views, it was the most watched of five new uploads. The comments turn quickly from engineering to employment, with viewers asking how people would afford robot-built products if automation displaced their jobs. That is a different question from whether the machines work, and a recurring one beneath this clip.

The week's other subjects stayed closer to the road: more affordable Zero electric motorcycles, Electrek.co's reporting on the end of Cybertruck production, and a podcast connecting those developments with EV adoption across several markets. Its China-US electric-truck comparison is drawing the most daily views right now, despite having a smaller total than the Xiaomi upload.

Across the channel, daily viewing is more than double its usual level, while subscribers were unchanged over the week. Nearby in motoring, Yorkshire Car Restoration is also seeing above-usual daily viewing; Mercedes Lounge is close to its normal level. For Electrek.co, the strongest fresh interest is split between what powers the truck and what builds it.

If robots take our jobs who will be left to work and have money to buy the products the robots build?
