The XPENG IRON marks a bold leap in humanoid robotics, blending advanced artificial intelligence with martial-arts-inspired motion to earn the title of “Robot Kung Fu Master.” Designed by electric-vehicle champion XPENG, IRON showcases agility, balance and expressive movement that hint at a future where robots don’t just assist—they perform.

Leveraging 82 degrees of freedom and refined body mechanics (including a human-inspired spine and bionic-muscle structure), IRON moves with surprising fluidity, executing stances and manoeuvres that evoke traditional kung-fu forms. Powered by XPENG’s bespoke AI architecture and solid-state battery design, it brings together robotics, mobility technology and embodied intelligence in one platform.

More than a stunt, IRON demonstrates XPENG’s vision of “physical AI”—robots capable of high-fidelity natural movement and real-world application. While the current focus is on show-floor demonstrations and advanced R&D, XPENG is aiming toward commercial rollout by 2026, targeting service, retail and light-industrial roles. For now, IRON stands as a symbol of what happens when robotics meets culture, engineering meets artistry, and the “kung-fu” metaphor becomes literal.
