Shiva, hold my beer: Chinese company Midea introduced the industrial android Miro U with six arms
The Midea Group, known as a major Chinese manufacturer of household appliances and electronics, has introduced a unique next-generation robot — Miro U.
What is known
This is the first humanoid robot in the world, equipped with six bionic arms and moving on a wheeled platform instead of legs. According to the developers, the traditional kinematics of the human body are not always optimal for industrial automation, so engineers decided to go beyond the familiar "humanoid" image and created a so-called "superhumanoid".
Midea has just introduced a six-armed super-humanoid robot designed for complex task handling and multi-step operations, essentially functioning as a self-contained workstation.

The main feature of Miro U is its ability to perform three tasks simultaneously, using each pair of hands for a separate operation. The robot can rotate 360 degrees, which makes it especially effective in confined spaces. It is designed for transportation, sorting, and handling of goods, as well as integration into existing automated lines. Midea Vice President and CTO Chang Wei noted that Miro U is the third generation in the company's line of humanoid robots and uses a fully proprietary technology stack.
The prototype has already been tested at one of Midea's factories, where it demonstrated its advanced capabilities: six arms with high-precision control, a modular system of interchangeable working tools, and support for vertical lifting allow for quick and efficient performance of a wide range of operations.
Midea plans to launch mass production of Miro U by the end of December 2025 and deploy it at the group's enterprises where washing machines are assembled. In the future, the company intends to develop the "superhumanoid" direction as a new market segment, where robots not only replicate human movements but surpass human capabilities, offering increased efficiency and flexibility.
