The second part of the video linked below is interesting. I haven't seen one of these humanoids walk in such a human-like fashion before.

They want to start mass-producing them in 2026. What will their capabilities be?

Interesting they talk of "open the SDK for IRON robots, jointly building a humanoid robot application ecosystem with global developers". Going this route by open-sourcing things seems to be the norm among Chinese robotics/AI firms.

Gotta say that something like NEO isn't setting bar very high. If IRON is anything, but a telepresence platform then it's already lightyears ahead of neo. since it's allegedly replacing workers in xpeng factories then it's safe to say it's crossed that border..
