XPeng announced that its second-generation VLA large model, after an upgrade, has been deployed on-device to the IRON humanoid robot, giving it temporal understanding and future behavior prediction capabilities. IRON re-reasons every 0.2 seconds based on the scene before it and predicts motion changes within 6 seconds, allowing it to respond to last-minute changes during handshakes, fist bumps, and high-fives. XPeng plans to achieve mass production of humanoid robots by the end of 2026, begin deliveries in the first half of 2027, and first deploy them in commercial scenarios such as stores and shopping malls.
