On February 1, He Xiaopeng, the CEO of XPENG, commented on the incident in which the XPENG IRON humanoid robot lost its balance and fell during a walking demonstration at Shenzhen Bay MixC. He likened the situation to a child's early attempts at walking—experiencing falls but quickly regaining stability, with the ultimate goal being to achieve uninterrupted running. Prior to this, the IRON robot had made its grand debut at the '2025 XPENG Tech Day', where it impressed audiences with its light-footed and nimble stride.
