TREE NEWS update: Xiaomi founder, chairman and CEO Lei Jun visited Unitree Robotics on Thursday, touring the company and watching a humanoid robot demonstration alongside Unitree founder Wang Xingxing. Earlier in the day Lei Jun appeared at Bilibili’s headquarters, where the company greeted him with a banner reading “Welcome Bilibili UP host Lei Jun” and chairman and CEO Chen Rui received him. In the afternoon he traveled to Hangzhou to hand over cars to more than 30 Xiaomi Pengcheng owners.
Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun Visits Unitree Robotics, Watches Humanoid Demo
Lei Jun's stop at Unitree sits inside a broader day of relationship-building across Bilibili and Xiaomi's own auto customers, which makes the robotics visit read as more than a courtesy call. Xiaomi has pushed humanoid and quadruped robotics through its own labs, while Unitree has become the most visible Chinese humanoid developer, so a founder-level meeting between the two is a signal worth noting for anyone tracking where Chinese consumer-tech capital and talent are converging. Whether this becomes anything more than a visit is the open question.
