Midea Group is a Chinese Fortune 500 technology and home appliance manufacturer expanding into humanoid robotics as part of its broader automation strategy. Building on decades of expertise in industrial automation, manufacturing, and robotics through its ownership of KUKA, the company is developing embodied AI platforms for both industrial and commercial applications. Midea is pursuing two complementary humanoid product lines. The MIRO series focuses on industrial automation, featuring multi-arm wheeled humanoid robots designed for manufacturing and logistics, while the Meila series targets commercial and home environments with bipedal humanoid robots.
