Episode Details

This episode looks at XPeng’s new humanoid robot and what it says about the pace of innovation in China.
I recently saw a demo of the robot and was surprised by how far the technology has already come. XPeng, known mainly as an EV company, is now developing robots with a strong focus on human-like movement and appearance.

We’ll talk about why companies like XPeng are growing so quickly: the size of the Chinese market, the speed of development, and the way software and hardware teams work together.
There’s no hype here—just a look at how these elements are coming together and why China might become one of the main places where the future of robotics takes shape.
