XPENG says its humanoid robot production line is now operational, with the first general-purpose IRON robot autonomously walking off the line — a shift from R&D prototyping to line manufacturing. Over 80% of core processes are automated, and automotive-grade quality systems were extended to robotics. The poster cautions that mass production remains an end-2026 target, not proven scale.
