Xpeng's Iron Humanoid Robot Falls During Shenzhen Demonstration
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+.
