Overview
Dogotix is the standalone robotics subsidiary of XPeng (NYSE: XPEV), carved out in August 2026 to develop general-purpose humanoid, bipedal, quadrupedal, and tracked robots. Its flagship product is the IRON humanoid robot, which reuses approximately 70% of XPeng's EV technology stack including in-house Turing AI chips.
Based in Guangzhou, China, Dogotix raised $900 million in its first external funding round at a $6.3 billion post-money valuation — the largest single private financing in China's embodied AI sector.
