He Xiaopeng, a deputy to the National People's Congress and the chairman of XPeng Motors, has disclosed that rudimentary robots are already in commercial operation across both industrial and consumer sectors. He anticipates a future where humanoid robots will become pervasive in automobile manufacturing. Xiaopeng underscored that the advancement of the humanoid robot industry hinges critically on the accumulation of extensive model data, necessitating research and development investments and intensities that surpass those of the automotive industry. XPeng Motors has maintained a profound involvement in the realm of humanoid robots for the past five years and intends to allocate an additional 50 to 100 billion yuan over the next two decades. However, he acknowledged that the industry is still in its nascent stages, prompting a relatively cautious approach to investments. Furthermore, He Xiaopeng emphasized the substantial challenges involved in transitioning humanoid robots from Level 2 to Level 3.
