XPeng IRON upgrade: second-generation VLA deployed on-device, re-infers every 0.2 seconds and predicts actions for the next 6 seconds
XPeng Motors announced the latest progress on its humanoid robot IRON. The upgraded second-generation VLA large model has been deployed on the robot's device side, enabling it to re-infer every 0.2 seconds based on real-time visuals and predict action changes within the next 6 seconds. The demonstration covered scenarios such as handshakes, fist bumps, and high-fives; when the interacting person temporarily changes gestures or position, IRON can adjust its actions and switch hands to coordinate. In terms of hardware, IRON is equipped with three self-developed Turing AI chips, with effective computing power up to 2250TOPS, a dexterous hand with 22 degrees of freedom per hand, and a model architecture combining VLT, VLA, and VLM.
