IT Home On October 12, Xpeng Motors appeared at the Paris Auto Show. In addition to introducing the Xpeng G9L model, Xpeng also revealed information about autonomous driving and humanoid robots.
In the field of humanoid robots, recently, Xpeng Robotics' production line was officially put into operation. The world's first advanced general-purpose humanoid robot completed automated assembly and walked off the production line on its own, marking a crucial step for Xpeng Robotics from research and development to actual manufacturing, and an important move towards large-scale production.
According to the introduction, Xpeng IRON can be said to be a “social ceiling” with built-in multi-modal interaction capabilities: it can recognize different people’s faces and remember the conversation context. Chinese, English, and German languages can be switched freely.
According to the plan, Xpeng will achieve mass production of humanoid robots by the end of 2026. Deliveries will start in the first half of 2027. It will be the first to implement these robots in commercial environments such as stores and malls, and gradually expand to industrial and home scenarios.
In the field of autonomous driving, XPeng’s second-generation VLA has achieved a seamless transition from L2 to L4 capabilities. The same model has been deployed in XPeng Robotaxi, which features L4-level autonomous driving. Recently, XPeng Robotaxi officially adopted the Chinese name “Xiaopeng Youyou” and the English name “XPENG YOYO”. The ride-hailing mini-app was also launched simultaneously, and it will be gradually made available to the public for experience. This marks a new stage in XPeng’s user-operated operation and commercialization exploration.
