On January 19, He Xiaopeng, Chairman of XPeng Motors, announced that the company’s first humanoid robot, ET1—developed to automotive-grade standards—has successfully been deployed, marking a critical step toward large-scale production of advanced humanoid robots by 2026. Earlier, at the company’s product launch event on January 8, He unveiled XPeng’s “Physical AI” strategy roadmap: the second-generation VLA technology will be integrated into vehicles in Q1 2026, followed by the launch of Robotaxi operations later that year, alongside mass production of both humanoid robots and flying cars. This move underscores XPeng’s accelerated expansion from smart electric vehicles into a broader intelligent mobility ecosystem.
