The first humanoid robot to walk itself off a production line XPENG’s IRON just came off its first mass-production line. And its first stop?-> An XPENG 4S store. it's born to work. Greeting customers. Guiding people around. Moving things. Taking on the repetitive tasks that make up everyday work.... IRON is a highly human-like humanoid:full-body flexible skin, lattice bionic muscles, a human-like spine, with natural-language interaction and, apparently, the first humanoid robot proven to be non-human. So,IRON will start withstart with the jobs that are dangerous, repetitive, or simply no one wants to do, then move into more parts of everyday life. But getting a humanoid into the real world requires more than building the robot itself. XPENG had to build its humanoid production line from scratch. Automakers have decades of manufacturing experience to learn from. Humanoid robotics has no comparable playbook. XPENG’s 110,000㎡ humanoid robot production base in Guangzhou is built to support a target of 1,000 IRON units per month by year-end, with capacity ready to scale as market demand grows. From building the factory from zero to putting the robots to work in 4S stores. Soon, we’ll see the IRON fleet enter the real world.show more

XPENG IRON combines a highly human-like design with 76 body DOF and 21 DOF per hand, enabling advanced dexterity and mobility. It runs XPENG’s Physical AI foundation model locally on three Turing chips, delivering up to 2,250 TOPS for low-latency, autonomous task execution without remote control.

Unleash the robots! 🤖

从产线自己走下来的那一刻开始，XPENG IRON 跟 Figure / 1X / Apptronik 不在一个赛道了 —— 那些还停在 demo 视频里。门店接待、导览、搬东西这种活接下来才是真战场。

I’d watch the 1,000/month number. Walking off a line is the easy bit. Getting them to do useful work in stores after month one is where it gets awkward.

The real test is yet to come. Humanoids first appeared at trade show booths to greet visitors several years ago. But the question is whether they're ready for everyday life. After all, greeting guests and performing a few simple tasks can only be a first step. Everyday life isn't made up of dozens, but of hundreds and thousands of small situations that are always slightly different. This is where we see just how good AI really is. Ultimately, a humanoid is really good if it can do “everything”—just as you can ask an AI any question. I’m very curious to see how IRON performs in everyday life and how it will compare to Optimus.

Motherfucker ban this xpeng This is against India How indian talented workers will find jobs in usa canada gulf and other countries if everyone use robots?

QUOTE:"Greeting customers. Guiding people around. Moving things (...) IRON will start (...) with the jobs that are dangerous, repetitive, or simply no one wants to do...". Greeting customers in shops in China is dangerous work nobody wants to do?

A 4S store is a better test than a stage. The useful follow-up is how many customer-facing tasks it completes before a human has to step in.

excited for its mass deployment
