The verified answer

As of Aug 2026, DEPLOY verifies XPeng IRON, a humanoid by XPeng Robotics (research): 1 verified deployment on record. 4 sources back the record.

Overview

XPeng's bipedal humanoid, designed for highly anthropomorphic, human-like gait and motion ('extreme anthropomorphism'). Approximately 1.73-1.78 m tall and ~70 kg. Targets commercial service roles first (reception, retail/shopping guide, tours, inspection), with large-scale mass production targeted around end of 2026; currently in pilot testing at XPeng's Guangzhou facility.

REVIEW NOTE: several headline specs (total degrees-of-freedom counts ranging 52-200 across sources, TOPS figures, in-house Turing chip count) are company-stated and inconsistent across reports; deliberately omitted from structured specs pending independent verification.
