XPeng's Humanoid Robot Sparks Debate: Is There a Real Person Inside? He Xiaopeng Responds

Deep News

12 hours ago

At the 7th XPeng Tech Day held on November 5, XPeng unveiled its next-generation humanoid robot, IRON. However, online speculation arose questioning whether the female-presenting robot, "Iron," actually concealed a real person inside.

He Xiaopeng, CEO of XPeng, addressed the controversy on Weibo: "During yesterday's Tech Day, our robot 'Iron' walked onto the stage with a catwalk-like stride, stunning the audience. Yet, over half of the online comments speculated that a real person might be hidden inside. This reaction left our robotics team both amused and frustrated—some still struggle to believe how fast technology is advancing. This morning, the team insisted I film an unedited, continuous video to debunk these claims. We hope this clarifies the matter once and for all."

The demonstration highlights XPeng's advancements in robotics, though skepticism persists among observers.
