Xpeng plans to launch humanoid robots globally next year and scale production to 1,000 units per month by end of 2026, following successful factory deployments by Chinese rivals. The move reflects broader commercialisation of industrial robotics in manufacturing, with supply chain vendors like Leaderdrive already fulfilling orders from Tesla and Figure AI.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you make parts for humanoid robots—actuators, joints, vision systems—you're about to see demand double. Chinese OEMs are moving from lab to factory floor in 2026, and they'll need component suppliers who can scale from dozens to thousands of units a month without breaking.
