Editorial:

 

When IRON stepped onto the stage at XPENG’s AI Day, it didn’t just walk—it performed. With a catwalk strut and human-like posture, it signaled something deeper than engineering: a shift in how we imagine machines among us. IRON isn’t a prototype locked in a lab. It’s a public-facing humanoid built to navigate stores, assist customers, and move through crowds with grace. This page gathers its specs, context, and emotional footprint—because robots don’t just compute. They show up.
