IRON is equipped with three Turing AI chips, and the second-generation VLA technology stack has been successfully implemented in the robot. The company expects to enhance its motion and control capabilities in the second half of this year. He Xiaopeng stated that IRON aims to achieve a monthly production capacity of over 1,000 units by the end of this year, prioritizing deployment in store and campus scenarios for guided tours and shopping assistance.
