XPENG announced on 8 September 2026 that its automated production line for humanoid robots is operational. It calls the line the world’s first for advanced general-purpose humanoid robots.
In a video posted the same morning, XPENG says a robot went through the full automated process and then walked off the line unaided.
The line belongs to XPENG Robotics, the unit behind the humanoid robot IRON, which had been on XPENG’s IFA stand in Berlin in the days before the opening. The XPENG company page explains how robots, cars and flying vehicles fit together in the group.
