What VinRobotics does

VinRobotics Joint Stock Company is a Vietnam-based robotics company established on November 20, 2024 as a Vingroup subsidiary (Vingroup 51%, chairman Pham Nhat Vuong 39%, his two sons 5% each) with 1 trillion VND (~$40M USD) charter capital. The company develops industrial humanoid robots and AI automation systems, with a third-generation product line spanning the VR-H3 (31+ actuators, 6–8 kg payload, dual onboard edge computers), flagship VR-H5, and mid-range VR-M3 (60 kg platform capable of onboard-perception stair climbing with 5 kg payload). Supporting the humanoid platform is a portfolio of non-humanoid automation solutions (fast bin picking, quality inspection, assembly, mobile manipulation, surface finishing, palletizing), robotic hands (Hand 3F-B), and high-torque-density actuators with real-time EtherCAT communication.

The technology stack is full-stack and developed in-house: ROS 2-based control software, MuJoCo/Isaac Lab-based simulation, an open-source RL training pipeline (mjlab) for locomotion, Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models for task interpretation and execution, and proprietary runtime tooling (vla.cpp, model-quantization-recipes). The company has demonstrated human-level 1.8 m/s walking speed on a 178 cm, 85 kg platform and a world-first perceptive stair-climbing capability for a ~60 kg humanoid, both trained via RL with sim-to-real transfer. VinRobotics also runs a non-humanoid AI vision stack covering 6-DoF pose estimation, stereo depth, semantic segmentation, and Visual SLAM, integrated into enterprise systems (SAP, MES, WMS, VDA 5050, MQTT).

VinRobotics is pre-commercial. There are no publicly disclosed prices or commercial products; revenue is not yet recognized. The go-to-market targets large industrial manufacturers through direct enterprise sales, with VinFast (Vingroup's EV manufacturer) as the anchor pilot customer for factory tasks such as lifting car parts and precision assembly. Distribution relies on international events (ICRA 2026, COMPUTEX 2026) for global enterprise outreach and on Vingroup ecosystem channels in Southeast Asia. Strategic MoUs with Infineon Technologies (power electronics), MobiFone Solutions (5G/edge computing), Tsinghua University, and Hanoi University of Science and Technology support component supply, connectivity infrastructure, and talent pipeline. Marketing is concentrated in top-of-funnel channels: events, Vingroup PR, organic social media, and a technical blog.

Core offering

VinRobotics designs and manufactures humanoid robots (VR-H3, VR-H5, VR-M3) and supporting robotic components (Hand 3F-B, smart actuators) for industrial automation, alongside AI vision-driven automation modules (bin picking, quality inspection, assembly, mobile manipulation, surface finishing, palletizing). The company provides the VinRobotics Humanoid Platform that integrates its robots with open-source SDKs, APIs, and tooling (vla.cpp, model-quantization-recipes, RL training pipeline) built on ROS 2, MuJoCo, Isaac Lab, and LeRobot.

Product overview

VinRobotics is a Vietnamese robotics company under Vingroup developing a comprehensive humanoid and industrial robotics portfolio. The core offering centers on humanoid robots (VR-H3, VR-H5, VR-M3) designed for industrial automation with in-house developed mechanical architecture, AI control systems, and power distribution. Supporting the humanoid platform is a suite of non-humanoid automation solutions including bin picking, quality inspection, assembly, mobile manipulation, surface finishing, and palletizing systems. The company provides an open-source ecosystem with vla.cpp for VLA model deployment, model-quantization-recipes for model optimization, and RL training pipelines, all built on ROS 2 and simulation frameworks. Smart actuators and robotic hands (Hand 3F-B) complement the hardware portfolio. The company operates from Vietnam with offices in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
