Compared with VB1 it has a narrower base, 7-joint arms, a larger 5 kg gripper payload and longer battery life.","sections":[{"h":"History","p":["Lanxin showed its VersaBot (VB) humanoid family at the World Robot Conference in Beijing in August 2024, and in October 2024 local broadcaster HTV-1 featured the robot. The company describes VersaBot as a vision-only robot with a new global RGB camera and algorithms plus large models acting as its \"brain\". The current range includes VB1, VB1-I and VB2, plus a dedicated H6 mini chassis and an OmniHead module."]},{"h":"Hardware","p":["Lanxin's spec sheet lists VB2 at 580 x 480 x 1700 mm with 35 mm ground clearance. Each arm has 7 joints and the gripper carries 5 kg, with a working height of 0.4-2 m. It drives on four omnidirectional wheels at up to 1.2 m/s, turns within a 760 mm diameter and navigates with 3D laser SLAM. It has a panoramic RGB-D vision system, 4-6 hours of battery life and a 0-40 °C operating range.","For comparison, VB1 has 6 arm joints, a 2 kg payload and 2-3 hours of runtime. Lanxin does not give the robot's weight or details of its hands."]},{"h":"Applications","p":["Lanxin pitches the VersaBot family at industrial manufacturing, commercial services, home care, healthcare, education and entertainment. It has not named customers using VB2."]},{"h":"Manufacturer","p":["Hangzhou Lanxin Robotics, headquartered in Hangzhou with an office in Nagoya, has worked on 3D vision for mobile robots since 2016. It makes AMRs and autonomous forklifts, MRDVS 3D vision sensors and multi-brand fleet software, and says cumulative shipments have passed 10,000 robots. Tencent invested in its Series B, and it is a tier-one supplier to Huawei and BYD."]},{"h":"Price and availability","p":["No price is published; quotes are requested through Lanxin's website."]}],"timeline":[["2024-08","VersaBot family shown at World Robot Conference"]],"faq":[["Does Lanxin VB2 walk?","No, it drives on four omnidirectional wheels."],["What is VB2's payload?","5 kg at the gripper."],["What is VB2's battery life?","4-6 hours according to Lanxin."],["How does VB2 differ from VB1?","7 instead of 6 arm joints, 5 kg instead of 2 kg payload and roughly double the runtime."],["How much does VB2 cost?","The price is not published."]],"sources":[{"title":"VB2 humanoid robot","publisher":"Lanxin Robotics","url":"https://www.lanxinrobotics.com/humanoid-robots/vb2-2/","date":"2026-10"},{"title":"VB1 humanoid robot","publisher":"Lanxin Robotics","url":"https://www.lanxinrobotics.com/humanoid-robots/vb1/","date":"2026-10"},{"title":"About Lanxin Robotics","publisher":"Lanxin Robotics","url":"https://www.lanxinrobotics.com/about/","date":"2026-10"},{"title":"Humanoid Robot VersaBot Makes Headlines on Hangzhou News Network","publisher":"Lanxin Robotics","url":"https://www.lanxinrobotics.com/humanoid-robot-versabot-makes-headlines-on-hangzhou-news-network/","date":"2024-10"}],"updated":"2026-10-10"},"mera":{"rental_with_operator":false,"sale_in_offer":false,"availability":"confirmation_required","shop_url":null},"url":"https://merarobotics.com/blog/humanoids/lanxin-vb2","inquiry_url":"https://merarobotics.com/en/start?service=purchase&robot=lanxin-vb2"}
