Xpeng's IRON Robot Gets an Upgrade: Re-inferencing Every 0.2 Seconds to Provide Feedback
Xpeng Motors has announced that its second-generation VLA large model has been deployed on the humanoid robot IRON. This upgrade enables the robot to re-infer based on its visual input every 0.2 seconds and predict movement changes within the next 6 seconds.
This capability allows IRON to adapt to last-minute changes during interactions like handshakes and high-fives, such as when the other person suddenly clenches their fist or alters the position of their hand. Xpeng plans to begin mass production of its humanoid robot by the end of 2026, with deliveries starting in the first half of 2027, initially targeting scenarios like retail stores and shopping malls.
