In its latest R&D outing, XPeng’s IRON humanoid robot has proven it can handle a bustling crowd without a hint of social anxiety-induced short-circuiting. Deftly sidestepping collisions while maintaining a respectful buffer zone, the bot suggests it’s already mastered the delicate choreography of an awkward office mixer. This demonstration puts the robot’s multi-person interaction stack front and centre—a vital piece of kit for its planned deployment in commercial service roles, from showroom floor assistance to high-street concierge duties.
