On November 5, Xpeng Automotive officially launched its new generation of humanoid robot —— IRON. This robot is designed with a bionic structure of "skeleton - muscle - skin," not only imitating the human body in appearance but also achieving multiple technological breakthroughs.
The design concept of IRON is very advanced, equipped with a human-like spine, bionic muscles, and full-coverage flexible skin, giving it precise control capabilities with 22 degrees of freedom. This means it can not only walk naturally, but also perform various complex hand operations, such as picking up objects or adjusting posture, demonstrating more human-like movement capabilities. The 3D curved display on its head further enhances the interaction experience with humans.
In terms of hardware configuration, IRON is equipped with three high-performance Turing AI chips, with a total computing power of 2250TOPS. This allows it to perform multimodal conversations, visual recognition, and complex behavioral decision-making. At the same time, IRON's power system uses solid-state batteries, with lightweight design and high safety, ensuring long-term operation.
Xpeng also emphasized that IRON is not just a product for technical demonstration, but also a pioneer in commercial applications. It will be first deployed in public service scenarios such as museums, 4S stores, and shopping malls for practical commercial services. In addition, Xpeng has also collaborated with Baosteel Group to explore the application potential of industrial inspection and safety monitoring.
In the future, Xpeng plans to open the SDK of IRON, inviting global developers to participate in the construction of the humanoid robot application ecosystem, further promoting the industrialization of bionic intelligent technology. This initiative will not only help accelerate technological development but also enable more innovative application scenarios to emerge.
In conclusion, the release of IRON not only demonstrates Xpeng's technical strength in the field of intelligent robots, but also opens up new possibilities for the diversification and convenience of future intelligent life.
