The new generation of Xpeng’s IRON humanoid robot has gone viral online with a smooth “catwalk” video, showcasing its agile posture and natural limb movements, prompting countless netizens to question, “Is this really not a human in disguise?” As skepticism grew, Xpeng Motors’ chairman He Xiaopeng personally stepped in to debunk the rumors by releasing an unedited, continuous video that confirmed the robot’s “mechanical identity” with hard evidence. In the video, staff members directly unzip the robot’s jacket, clearly revealing its metal skeletal framework, intricate piping, and precision drive components, completely dispelling the speculation that a real person was hidden inside. He Xiaopeng also dismantled several of the most misleading details on-site: the structure that appears to be the robot’s “ears” is actually a microphone array responsible for sound capture; the muscle-like movement of the hips while walking is due to bionic actuators adjusting tension in real-time; and the slight sounds accompanying its movements are the noises from the motors operating and the cooling system at work. These visible mechanical structures, along with technical details that cannot be mimicked by a human, confirm that the Xpeng IRON humanoid robot is indeed a genuine artificial intelligence product. Its smooth walking posture is backed by Xpeng’s technological breakthroughs in motion control and bionic design, showcasing the top-tier level of humanoid robot development in China. From sparking heated discussions to hard evidence debunking myths, the rise of the Xpeng humanoid robot not only allows the public to experience the charm of technology but also draws more attention to the potential of humanoid robots transitioning from laboratory settings to real-world applications.
