XPENG Unveils XPACE, a Unified Embodied World Model Powering Its IRON Humanoid
CyberRobooo · x · 2026-09-17
XPENG revealed XPACE, a unified embodied world model for its IRON humanoid — jointly a world/action model and a simulator sharing one video backbone that predicts both robot actions and future video. Trained on 5,000 hours of embodied video (human egocentric, human-action, and human-robot bridge data), it uses a coarse-to-fine curriculum and simulator-synthesized recovery trajectories. Paper on arXiv, project page live.
