XPENG said that its humanoid robot production lines are now in operation, and the company's first advanced general‑purpose humanoid robot made its debut by autonomously walking off the lines after completing production.

XPENG said its robot production lines are the world's first automated production lines for advanced humanoid robots. With more than 80% of core processes automated, the lines deliver a flexible and intelligent manufacturing system. "The robot production lines were created from scratch with no precedent to follow. Today's step is small, but XPENG is building the production lines for an entirely new product category. Looking ahead, XPENG will continue to explore faster production rhythms and greater scale in robot manufacturing, charting a new path toward a leading robot manufacturing industry in China and globally," said XPENG CEO He Xiaopeng in a statement.

XPENG's Iron is an advanced humanoid robot combining human-like form and movement with AI-driven intelligence. It is being developed as a general-purpose humanoid robot platform, capable of supporting a range of applications and continuously improving through self-reinforcement in the real world.
