Meila · 美拉
Does not meet 3 of this site’s four inclusion criteria, so it is not in the catalogue.
This is a statement about what this site lists, not about the product. The criteria are deliberately narrow (multi-purpose home robots that physically handle objects and adapt to what they find), and a robot can be excellent and still sit outside them. The criteria in full.
Criteria it does not meet
-
Multi-task by design
Not metPerforms two or more distinct household task types. Not a single-purpose appliance, and not one task described several ways.
No task list found in any source.
-
Physical manipulation
Not metHas arms, grippers or manipulators, and can pick up, move or handle objects.
No capability detail found in any source.
-
AI-driven autonomy
Not metCopes with unscripted variation within a task: it perceives what is actually there and adapts, rather than replaying a fixed motion sequence. How a task is started is not part of this test.
No statement found on the underlying model or tasking method.
Evidence:no source: nothing was found either way
Criteria it does meet
Stated as plainly as the ones above. These are not consolation: they are part of the record, and on some of these pages the evidence here is stronger than anything in the catalogue.
-
Credible home path
MetTargets domestic use, and has a public price, preorder or announced release window. Pure research demos are excluded.
Vendor investor-relations statement: the Meila series has entered final testing with a stated 2026 placement into Midea's own offline retail stores.
What would change this
Would qualify if Midea publishes any capability detail (a task list or manipulator spec) or a statement of how the robot is tasked.
Records are re-checked as the field moves. A robot that meets all four criteria later moves into the catalogue.
