$150,000

The Xpeng Iron is a full-size humanoid robot from Xpeng Robotics, standing 178 cm and weighing 70 kg with an industry-leading 82 degrees of freedom including 22-DOF dexterous hands per arm. Powered by three proprietary Turing AI chips delivering a combined 3,000 TOPS — among the highest of any humanoid — and running Xpeng's VLA 2.0 vision-language-action AI with 720° perception coverage. A 110,000 m² dedicated factory in Guangzhou targets late 2026 mass production. Enterprise pricing is estimated at approximately $150,000, with initial deployments planned for Xpeng's own facilities and Baosteel industrial inspection.

Overview

IRON is a full-size humanoid designed to deliver dependable performance in real settings. Its 26-DOF architecture supports agile, human-like movement, while a 20 kg payload enables practical lifting and task work. An AI-driven control stack—with depth sensing, LiDAR, and motion sensors—lets IRON perceive its surroundings, plan safe paths, and collaborate with people in dynamic environments. With up to four hours of operation per charge, it’s built for continuous, real-world use where precision, safety, and efficiency matter.

Xpeng Iron Overview

Xpeng Iron is backed by Xpeng Inc.'s $18 billion automotive infrastructure, giving it a manufacturing scale advantage over pure robotics startups. The robot features a humanoid spine, bionic muscle actuation, and flexible skin, with a 3D curved head display. An SDK released November 2025 enables third-party development. The 110,000 m² Guangzhou factory broke ground in Q1 2026, targeting mass production in late 2026 — a 6-to-9-month ground-to-robot timeline underscoring Xpeng's automotive-grade production ambitions.

Technical Highlights

At 3,000 TOPS from three in-house Turing AI chips, Xpeng Iron leads the humanoid field in on-device compute power. The VLA 2.0 model enables end-to-end vision-to-action reasoning. The 22-DOF hand design rivals specialized manipulation platforms. Xpeng's automotive supply chain — producing 300,000+ EVs annually — provides shared components for motors, battery cells, sensors, and compute hardware, creating a structural cost advantage. The all-solid-state battery improves energy density and safety over conventional lithium-ion.

Applications

Initial deployment focus: retail service, industrial inspection (Baosteel partnership), guided tours, and corporate campus operations within Xpeng's own facilities. The high DOF and advanced manipulation make it suited for tasks requiring fine dexterity — assembly, inspection, and object handling in structured industrial environments. Long-term commitment to home assistance and broader consumer markets as production scales.
