XPENG Iron Humanoid Walked Off the Line Right After Assembly
XPENG's Iron humanoid robot walked off the assembly line on its own right after being built. It has 76 degrees of freedom and three Turing chips with a combined 2,250 trillion operations per second; mass deliveries are planned for 2027.
Iron, XPENG's humanoid robot, walked off the assembly line on its own right after being built, without any command. It has 76 degrees of freedom and three Turing chips with a combined 2,250 trillion operations per second. Production started on September 7, 2026, and mass deliveries are planned for 2027.
Iron's first tasks are greeting visitors and leading tours at XPENG showrooms. That is not a factory floor, but it is how companies test reliability before real load and gather data. I find it interesting to watch an automaker with ready-made factories enter this space. XPENG's starting position is very different from that of pure robotics startups.
