About
Xpeng Robotics is the humanoid division of Chinese EV maker Xpeng Inc., leveraging the company's autonomous driving AI stack (VLA/VLT/VLM models), Turing AI chips (2,250 TOPS), and manufacturing infrastructure. The Iron humanoid features 82 degrees of freedom, a biomimetic spine, full-body soft skin with embedded touch sensors, 720-degree Eagle-Eye vision, and industry-first solid-state batteries. Xpeng broke ground on a 110,000 sqm dedicated humanoid factory in Q1 2026 with mass production targeted for late 2026. CEO He Xiaopeng has taken a contrarian stance against factory deployment after internal trials showed poor economics, instead targeting service, hospitality, and security applications.
