XPeng’s ‘Robotic Hand’ Debuts, Capable of Performing Precise Tasks in Industrial Settings

On August 12, He Xiaopeng, founder, chairman, and CEO of XPeng Motors, posted a video on Weibo stating that he used the ‘Iron Assistant’ to operate his phone and book a new MONA M03 car.

He Xiaopeng stated that the research and development of this ‘assistant’ robotic hand is aimed at matching the flexibility and tactile abilities of human hands, and called on Alipay to ‘implement facial payment for robots’.

He Xiaopeng further revealed that XPeng Motors’ ‘robotic hand’ will be able to handle very delicate tasks in industrial settings in the future. At the same time, new advancements by XPeng Motors in AI and large hardware will be disclosed later this year.

At last year’s 1024 XPeng Motors Technology Day, He Xiaopeng introduced the self-developed humanoid biped robot PX5 by XPeng Motors. He stated that the XPeng team spent 5 months achieving stable walking for the self-developed biped robot.

The PX5 is equipped with ultra-lightweight humanoid robotic arms, featuring 7 degrees of freedom, a repeat positioning accuracy of 0.05mm, a maximum single-arm load of 3kg / robotic arm weight of 5kg, and a load-to-weight ratio exceeding 0.6, with a maximum end-effector linear speed of 1m/s.
