Meet IRON: The Robot Guide Changing How We Build and Buy Cars

XPENG is stepping beyond electric vehicles and moving full throttle into humanoid robotics with the introduction of IRON, a robot that looks like it was lifted straight out of a science fiction film. This is not just a concept—IRON is already active inside XPENG’s electric vehicle factory, helping guide production lines and even showing customers around the showroom.

IRON stands at about 1.73 meters tall and weighs around 70 kilograms. It moves with more than 60 joints and offers up to 200 degrees of freedom, giving it smooth and human-like movements. But it is not just the body that is impressive. The real magic happens in the brain, where XPENG’s powerful Turing AI chip processes 30 billion parameters with an astonishing performance rate of 3,000 TOPS. This setup makes the robot capable of adapting quickly, learning new tasks, and interacting naturally with people.

Equipped with a 720-degree eagle-eye vision system and full-body tactile sensing, IRON sees and responds to its environment in ways that feel remarkably lifelike. Its hands are designed with 22 degrees of freedom and mimic human hand proportions, allowing it to perform tasks with surprising finesse.

Inside XPENG showrooms, IRON is already engaging customers, offering interactive walk-throughs of the latest models like the MONA M03 and P7+. It is part product specialist, part futuristic guide. Beyond that, XPENG is aiming for L3-level humanoid robot capabilities and plans to begin mass production by 2026.

This kind of innovation blurs the line between machines and people. XPENG is not just building robots—they are rethinking how artificial intelligence can work side-by-side with us, both in factories and in everyday life.
