Overview
IRON is the humanoid robot developed by XPENG, the Chinese AI-mobility company, building on technology shared from its electric vehicles. XPENG first showed IRON publicly in late 2024 and unveiled a substantially upgraded next-generation version at its 2025 AI Day, presenting it as a life-size robot with human-like proportions and motion.
The next-generation IRON pairs a humanoid spine, bionic muscles and fully covered flexible skin with XPENG's own physical-world AI models, which the company groups as conversation, walking and interaction capabilities. XPENG demonstrated fluid, natural walking and dexterous hand movement built around compact harmonic joints.
XPENG positions IRON for commercial service work such as guided tours, retail assistance and visitor flow management, and says the robot has entered a factory training phase ahead of planned large-scale production. Pricing has not been officially announced.
