Walk like a human, tiptoe like a cat! He Xiaopeng demonstrates the next generation humanoid robot.

Today, at the 2025 Xiaopeng Technology Day event, Xiaopeng Automobile CEO He Xiaopeng showcased the new generation IRON humanoid robot. At the scene, this robot took "cat-like steps", with natural and smooth movements and highly realistic human body postures that caused the audience to cheer. He Xiaopeng said that, although it was only a short distance, the Xiaopeng robot team had been working for 7 years. By increasing the passive degrees of freedom of the toes, the R&D team enabled IRON to achieve light and gentle steps, making it feel as smooth as walking in space.
