Recent advances in the world of robotics have unleashed autonomous bodegas, sock-puppet style robo-servants, and even AI-powered dinosaurs. For the most part, robotics developers have kept their projects on the lighter side, even if they occasionally creep us out. But that might be changing thanks to the Chinese automotive company XPeng, which just released a clip showcasing its “Iron” humanoid robot. During an event this week, the company showed it off dressed in a cloth bodysuit that gave it a distinctly feminine profile. XPENG's next-gen IRON robot effectively crossed the uncanny valley, leading many to believe it was a human in a suit.
