XPeng's Humanoid Robot Just Walked Off a Real Production Line
XPeng's IRON humanoid robot completed assembly and walked off a real production line running above 80% automation, backed by a $900M+ raise at a $6.3B+ valuation — mass production by year-end 2026 and a 2027 launch are still the company's own guidance, not yet fact.

Flagged:DoF, automation percentage, funding amount/valuation and the 2026/2027 timeline were checked against all four sources and agree exactly, no rounding discrepancy. Already-happened facts (production line commissioned, IRON walked off it, the $900M+ raise closed Aug 24 2026) are kept explicit and separate from XPeng's own still-forward-looking guidance (mass production by end of 2026, launch/deliveries in 2027) — never blurred together.
