September 8 news:Today, XPeng Group officially announced that XPeng Robotics has achieved a key milestone: the XPeng robot production line is now operational, and the world's first advanced general-purpose humanoid robot has completed automated final assembly and walked off the production line autonomously.
This production line is the world's first automated line dedicated to advanced general-purpose humanoid robots, independently designed and developed by XPeng.
The production line draws on the mature manufacturing quality systems of the automotive industry, adapting to the precision assembly requirements of humanoid robots. It establishes a high-precision, highly flexible intelligent manufacturing system, with over 80% automation rate in core processes, laying the hardware foundation for large-scale mass production and rapid expansion of humanoid robots.
Codename IRON, this humanoid robot is the core implementation vehicle of XPeng's Physical AI strategy. Positioned as an advanced general-purpose humanoid robot, it aims to create the next-generation universal humanoid robot platform, adapting to diverse real-world scenarios and achieving self-iterative optimization in real environments.
At the hardware level, the robot features an industry-leading anthropomorphic design, adopting a pioneering fully covered flexible lattice structure. The entire unit has 76 degrees of freedom, with the hands alone possessing 21 degrees of freedom, placing its motion performance among the industry leaders.
In terms of intelligent computing power, the unit is equipped with three Turing AI chips, delivering an effective computing power of up to 2250 TOPS. XPeng's Physical AI large model is deployed on-device, allowing the robot to independently handle complex tasks without remote control.
He Xiaopeng, Chairman of XPeng Group, stated that automated production of advanced general-purpose humanoid robots is an exploration from zero to one. In the future, robots will prioritize taking on dangerous and repetitive tasks, leveraging full generalization capabilities to deploy in various real-world scenarios, gradually entering daily life and becoming companions to humans.
Furthermore,XPeng's humanoid robots will enter mass production by the end of this year, with official market delivery scheduled for 2027, accelerating the deployment of advanced general-purpose humanoid robots and facilitating their large-scale application and commercialization in the global market.
