Xpeng showcased its newest humanoid robotic, Iron, on the 2025 Shanghai Auto Present. Xpeng’s proprietary Turing AI chip powers it and options 60 joints, 200 levels of freedom, and a formidable 3,000 TOPS of processing energy.
The electrical car producer launched its first humanoid robotic “Iron” final November. In keeping with Xpeng, Iron is already operational on its automotive manufacturing traces, helping within the meeting of upcoming electrical autos.
Standing 5 toes 8 inches (1.73 meters) tall and weighing 154 kilos (70 kilograms), Iron is designed with human-like proportions. Its arms, constructed to 1:1 scale with 22 levels of freedom, enable exact and versatile object manipulation.
In keeping with Xpeng, Iron’s superior mobility is pushed by end-to-end giant fashions and reinforcement studying, enabling easy, pure motion and secure strolling with out the rigidity typical of conventional robots.
Iron’s voice interplay system, tailored from Xpeng’s sensible cockpit, permits for pure dialog by means of energetic reasoning and logical considering. It additionally integrates Xpeng’s autonomous driving know-how, utilizing the identical core AI methods because the model’s electrical autos, bridging the hole between automotive and robotic ecosystems.
Underneath the hood, Iron runs on Xpeng’s proprietary “Turing AI chip” and “Tianji AIOS” software program system. Collectively, they supply superior intelligence for notion, motion, and interplay. The corporate claims Iron’s system now boasts 3,000 TOPS of processing energy.
The robotic’s “Eagle Eye” imaginative and prescient system is powered by superior cameras, guaranteeing exact environmental consciousness and decision-making talents. “It additionally incorporates a 720° AI imaginative and prescient system, which may also be present in Xpeng’s autonomous driving know-how,” the corporate said.
In keeping with Xpeng, Iron represents its imaginative and prescient for a future the place clever mobility and sensible robotics deeply converge. The corporate envisions Iron as a private assistant, dealing with duties equivalent to administration and customer support in retail areas, places of work, and even houses.
