Editorial summaries

AgiBot Yuanzheng A2

The Yuanzheng A2 is the flagship full-size humanoid from AgiBot, an emerging Chinese manufacturer with commercial activity in China. No verified consumer price, availability, or delivery date is on record; the editorial position is honest-absence.

XPeng IRON

XPeng's IRON (from the Chinese EV maker XPeng) is a roughly 175-centimeter, 70-kilogram research humanoid, an automotive-OEM entrant into humanoids, the cross-OEM positioning that parallels Tesla Optimus emerging from a carmaker. DEPLOY records it at research maturity with no verified deployments. XPeng has shown IRON in staged demonstrations and stated consumer and industrial intentions, but the verification posture is demonstration, not verified autonomous deployment or commercial sale, and DEPLOY cap-flags aggregator 'autonomous' or 'shipping' framing. As a research platform it has no consumer price.
