Xpeng robot "Iron"
Xpeng debuted its next-gen humanoid robot, IRON, at the November 5th Xpeng Tech Day, labeling it the "most anthropomorphic humanoid." CEO He Xiaopeng confirmed this is the final R&D version, with the production model set to stand no taller than 170 cm.

The new IRON integrates several key innovations: it pioneers the use of an all-solid-state battery, is powered by three Turing chips, and incorporates a physical world large model for enhanced intelligence. This signals the final push towards mass production.

I am currently taking a long view on humanoid robotics. I think all of the achievements as of late have been impressive, but I still think we might be a while off from adopting them in our homes. I am thinking it might be about 15 years or so before they become fairly common.

The US and the West takes the same view as they did with semiconductors. They bragged that China was going to collapse because they were denying China their best chips. Why is what's going on with Nexperia freezing the world's auto giants? Those aren't the best chips. The West acts like you need chips for a supercomputer to operate a modern toaster. They apply that same logic for AI and robots. They think you have to make AI and robots do everything and anything and no less. It has to replicate exactly human intelligence and motion. And what will that cost just so you can toast bread in the morning...?

I'm surprised no one said it, but this Xpeng IRON thing is f*** ing T-800 through and through. I'm a bit dissappointed they haven't done a proper T-800 robot just for the heck of it, it's just mindboggling that they have the technology now to actually do that for real.
