Jakarta, - INTI In the midst of the rapid transformation of the automotive and robotics industries, Chinese automotive technology company Xpeng took a strategic step by exhibiting its latest humanoid robot named 'Iron' at the Shanghai Auto Show 2025. This robot is not just a technology exhibition but a concrete manifestation of the vision of integration between intelligent mobility and artificial intelligence.
Designed Like a Human, Powered by Super Advanced AI
Iron features a human-like design, stands 1.73 meters tall and weighs 70 kilograms, with 60 joints and 200 degrees of freedom to enable flexible human-like movements. The robot hand is designed in a 1:1 scale with 22 degrees of freedom, emphasizing its ability to perform complex tasks with precision.
Beyond its physical capabilities, Iron is powered by Xpeng's Turing AI chip and Tianji's AIOS software system. This combination provides up to 3,000 TOPS (trillion operations per second) of processing power, making Iron capable of performing tasks that demand high levels of intelligence, such as dynamic navigation and natural human interaction.
Humanized Interaction and Integrated Intelligence
Uniquely, the Iron voice system adapted from Xpeng's smart cockpit combines active reasoning capabilities and logical thinking so that the robot can have natural conversations with humans. It also integrates Xpeng's autonomous driving system, proving that the AI base can be applied across domains from automotive to robotics.
The robot's vision system is no joke. Using an advanced “Eagle Eye” camera, Iron can capture its surroundings in real-time and make decisions independently with high accuracy.
A future where robots and mobility come together
According to Xpeng, Iron is not just a robotic innovation. It is the first step towards a new era where humanoid robots become part of the smart mobility ecosystem. The company envisions Iron as a personal and professional assistant capable of assisting in retail, office, and household environments.
More than just catching the public's attention, Iron's presence points to a new direction for the global automotive industry: collaborative, not just autonomous, automation.
Conclusion
With the Iron humanoid robot, Xpeng is emphasizing its role not only as an electric car player, but also as a pioneer in bringing together the automotive and robotics worlds. This technology opens up huge opportunities for industrial automation, customer service, and service personalization in the future. Now, the next challenge is how innovations like Iron can be widely and inclusively adopted.
