In a luxury shopping center in Shenzhen, people were walking between display cases when they noticed something out of the ordinary, a humanoid crossing the space with calm steps, upright posture and quite natural movements, it was Iron, XPENG's humanoid robot, making its public debut outside the laboratories.
The result is a more fluid walk, less mechanical, we could say even more organic, even so, the engineers noticed an important detail, the hands used in this demonstration still belong to a previous generation of hardware, that is, XPENG is not showing the robot in its final form, it is showing something intermediate and that reveals a clear strategy. Before proving that a robot can lift boxes, tighten screws or operate machines, the company wants to demonstrate that it can be next to a human without causing discomfort.
