Speaking on the challenges of bringing humanoid robots to market, He Xiaopeng, a National People’s Congress representative and Chairman of XPENG-W (09868.HK) (XPEV.US), told Securities Times that the company has been deeply engaged in the humanoid robot industry for five years. He estimated that XPeng may need another 20 years and an investment of RMB50 billion, or even upwards of RMB100 billion, to fully realize its ambitions. At present, the industry remains in its early stages, and XPeng’s investments will stay relatively conservative. The Chairman noted that advancing humanoid robots from L2 to L3 autonomy poses a major hurdle. He Xiaopeng pointed out that simple robots are already in commercial use in industrial and consumer settings, while envisioning a future where large numbers of humanoid robots are deployed in automotive production. However, he cautioned that both AI-driven car companies and humanoid robot firms face a pivotal challenge: securing sufficient data. He emphasized that accumulating data for foundation models will be a key barrier in the humanoid robot industry, requiring far greater R&D investment and intensity than the auto sector.
