Here are the detailed updates on humanoid robots for this weekend (November 8-9, 2025): • Xpeng Motors showcases the internal structure of the IRON humanoid robot: On November 9, Xpeng Motors recently released the humanoid robot IRON, which has been questioned by many viewers for its overly realistic movements, leading to suspicions that it is a human in disguise. To address these concerns, Xpeng directly cut open the robot’s shell at the press conference to reveal its internal mechanical structure. Chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng personally took the stage to clarify that IRON is entirely driven by mechanics and AI, with no humans hidden inside. IRON has 82 degrees of freedom and is powered by three custom AI chips, achieving a total computing power of 2250 TOPS, primarily aimed at commercial scenarios. • UBTECH’s humanoid robot Walker S2 debuts at the opening ceremony of the National Games: On the evening of November 9, at the opening ceremony of the 15th National Games, three fully autonomous humanoid robots Walker S2 from UBTECH played the ancient bronze ritual instrument unearthed from the Nanyue King Tomb in Guangzhou, marking the beginning of the cultural performance at the ceremony. This set two groundbreaking records: the first time humanoid robots were introduced as opening guests at a national comprehensive sports event, and the first time humanoid robots played a millennium-old bronze ritual music. The Walker S2 stands 176 cm tall, weighs 70 kg, and has a total of 52 degrees of freedom, utilizing full-body force-position hybrid control technology to achieve millimeter-level striking positioning accuracy and millisecond-level action synchronization. • Yushu Technology showcases multiple robots at the China International Import Expo: On November 8, at the 8th China International Import Expo 2025, Yushu Technology displayed several robots, including humanoid robots G1 and R1, H2, as well as robotic dogs Go2, B2, and A2.
