Xpeng's Iron Humanoid Robot Falls During Shenzhen Demonstration
Xpeng Motors' humanoid robot, Iron, collapsed during a demonstration in Shenzhen, China, after a few steps. Weighing 70 kg and standing 1.78 meters tall, the robot was caught by staff before being removed. Iron features 62 active joints and is powered by three proprietary Turing AI chips, offering 2,250 TOPS computing power. Despite advanced technology, including a lightweight semiconductor battery, the demonstration ended in failure, leading to Iron being secured for future presentations. Xpeng's CEO likened the robot's learning process to that of a child.

During a demonstration event at a shopping center in Shenzhen, Xpeng Motors' humanoid robot, Iron, fell after taking a few steps. The 1.78 m tall and 70 kg heavy robot was quickly caught by staff before being removed from the stage.
Iron is equipped with 62 active joints and utilizes three proprietary Turing AI chips, providing a computing power of 2,250 TOPS for real-time processing of visual and auditory data. Additionally, it incorporates a lightweight semiconductor battery.
Following the incident, Iron was secured for safety during subsequent demonstrations. Xpeng's CEO, He Xiaopeng, compared the robot's learning to that of a child learning to walk, and it has since been assigned to simple assembly tasks on the production line of the P7+.
