If we were to describe CATL’s development pace over the past decade as a dance, it would undoubtedly be the “Battery Dance”\u2014focusing on power batteries, energy storage, and electrochemical systems, pushing scale, cost, and safety to the extreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with the accelerated competition in AI <\/strong>in China and globally by the end of 2024, CATL has also begun its AI dance, joining the faster-paced, more variable “AI Dance” that the global industry is participating in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humanoid robots are the most concrete and easily perceived manifestation of this shift in dance steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is CATL moving from batteries to humanoid robots? Is this simply chasing a trend, or is there a deeper industrial logic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From our perspective, the answer is not complicated. Humanoid robots represent an application scenario that is highly aligned with CATL’s capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batteries are the core power source for robots, and robots naturally embody the three directions that CATL is pursuing: high energy density, high safety, and system capabilities deeply coupled with AI <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to new energy vehicles, which have entered a new stage of scale competition and price wars, humanoid robots offer a new space that is “not yet finalized and where standards can be jointly defined.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The humanoid robot “Xiao Mo”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What truly made the outside world realize that CATL wasn’t just “telling stories,” but was seriously engaging in this AI dance, was the deployment of the humanoid robot “Xiao Mo” at its Zhongzhou base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike many robot applications that remain in the demonstration or conceptual stage, “Xiao Mo” directly entered CATL’s production environment, specifically the EOL and DCR processes of the power battery PACK production line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a process that has long relied on manual labor, requiring operation under conditions of multiple models, small batches, and high flexibility, and also involving hundreds of volts of high-voltage connections, inherently posing safety risks and consistency issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 “Xiao Mo” began its trials in this process, using an end-to-end vision-language-action model, enabling it to adapt to material deviations and point changes, and autonomously adjust its posture;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 It dynamically controls the force when plugging and unplugging flexible wiring harnesses to avoid damage;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 In terms of cycle time and success rate, it has already achieved results close to or even exceeding those of skilled workers, with a connection success rate consistently above 99%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With so many subsequent PACK production lines at CATL, the application of CATL’s humanoid robots in replacing human workers in real, high-risk, and high-consistency industrial scenarios has proven its value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This step is crucial. CATL first integrated it into its own manufacturing system. By refining it through the production line, it created a closed loop between robot capabilities, AI <\/strong>models, and battery systems internally, which has more long-term value than simply investing externally or releasing concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This path may not be fast, but it is sufficiently stable. Humanoid robots are already having an impact on three levels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, they are driving the evolution of intelligent manufacturing towards greater flexibility and intelligence;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, they are providing real-world application scenarios for cutting-edge technologies such as solid-state batteries;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirdly, they are allowing CATL to occupy a more proactive position in the long-term narrative of the integration of AI <\/strong> and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
