Embodied Intelligence

Shi Xiaoxin helped define Xpeng’s humanoid robot product system.

The company is moving beyond traditional robots into higher-value systems designed for smart manufacturing.

Deployment matters more than spectacle, according to the company’s CEO.

Real-world data remains essential, but it may not be enough to support deployment at scale.

The company has unveiled SynReal, a system designed to narrow the gap in deformable object simulation.

The robotics company is the latest of Hangzhou’s “six little dragons” to show substantive IPO progress.

The company builds on its background in computer vision technology.

Attention is turning to intelligence, a robotics area constrained by data bottlenecks and other limitations.
