International Students from the School of Computer Science Visit Xiaomi Auto’s Beijing Super Factory
On November 25, the International Student Office of the School of Computer Science, Peking University, organized a visit to the Xiaomi Auto Beijing Super Factory for international students currently enrolled at the school. A total of 15 master’s and doctoral students from the United States, Canada, Germany, Greece, Russia, Malaysia, Iran, and other countries participated in the event.
The visit began at the Xiaomi Auto showroom, where several of the company’s latest models were on display, showcasing advancements in vehicle design, power systems, and intelligent technologies. The guide provided an overview of the vehicle chassis structure, body framework, safety features, power performance, and the electronic and electrical architecture, highlighting Xiaomi’s self-developed platform and its strengths in lightweight design, energy management, and intelligent driving. A brief demonstration of the in-car intelligent system was also given, and its user-friendly interaction and ecosystem integration left a positive impression on the students. After the introduction, the students explored various Xiaomi models through test seating, gaining a close-up experience of the cockpit layout and the vehicle’s intelligent interaction features.
The group then took a shuttle to the Xiaomi Auto production workshop. Known for its high level of automation, the facility’s key processes—including welding, painting, and assembly—are executed with precision by intelligent robotic arms, ensuring efficiency and stability. Students observed the complete workflow from body formation to final assembly, gaining a comprehensive understanding of China’s advanced manufacturing systems for new energy vehicles. The rapid operation of modern industrial equipment, real-time calibration by intelligent inspection systems, and data-driven production management gave students a vivid sense of how technological innovation is powering modern manufacturing.
This visit not only enabled international students to gain firsthand insight into China’s achievements in intelligent manufacturing, new energy vehicles, and the integration of artificial intelligence, but also provided valuable exposure to the country’s cutting-edge technological practices. By stepping into leading enterprises and production facilities, the students developed a more concrete and multidimensional understanding of China’s innovation ecosystem. The activity also enhanced their sense of engagement during their studies in China and promoted meaningful exchanges between Chinese and international students. It serves as a positive contribution to the School’s ongoing efforts to advance international education and foster a diverse and open learning environment.
