In October 2024 it featured in an HTV-1 Hangzhou News segment on companies in the city's Innovation Corridor. The current range lists VB1, VB1-I and VB2 versions."]},{"h":"Design and technology","p":["Lanxin's spec sheet gives VB1 dimensions of 700 x 610 x 1650 mm, a four-wheel omnidirectional drive with speeds up to 1.2 m/s and a 580 mm turning diameter. Each arm has 6 joints and the gripper handles 2 kg. Working height spans 0.4-2 m and battery life is 2-3 hours. Navigation uses 3D laser SLAM.","The VB1-I keeps the same dimensions but uses two-wheel differential drive, reaches 1.5 m/s and works from 0.2 m. For humanoids Lanxin also sells an OmniHead module with a 360 x 90 degree field of view, face recognition and voice interaction."]},{"h":"Software and AI","p":["Lanxin stresses that VersaBot is vision-first: it has a panoramic RGB-D system and a new global-shutter RGB camera, with algorithms and large models serving as its understanding layer. Lanxin calls it a multimodal interaction hub. We did not find any mention of native ROS 2 support in Lanxin's materials."]},{"h":"Applications and deployments","p":["Lanxin lists industrial manufacturing, commercial services, home care, healthcare, education and entertainment. No humanoid deployment numbers have been given."]},{"h":"Manufacturer","p":["Hangzhou Lanxin Robotics started in 2016-2018 by developing 3D perception for mobile robots. The company says it later became a tier-one supplier to Huawei and BYD, brought in Tencent in its Series B, and has shipped more than 10,000 robots in total. It has an office in Nagoya, Japan."]},{"h":"Price and availability","p":["Pricing is available on request."]}],"timeline":[["2024-08","VersaBot shown at the 2024 World Robot Conference"],["2024-10","VersaBot featured on HTV-1 Hangzhou News"]],"faq":[["Does VersaBot VB1 walk?","No, it moves on four omnidirectional wheels."],["How much can VersaBot VB1 lift?","Its gripper handles up to 2 kg."],["What is VB1's battery life?","2-3 hours according to Lanxin."],["Who makes VersaBot?","Hangzhou Lanxin Robotics, a maker of 3D-vision mobile robots."]],"sources":[{"title":"VB1 humanoid robot","publisher":"Lanxin Robotics","url":"https://www.lanxinrobotics.com/humanoid-robots/vb1/","date":"2026"},{"title":"VB1-I humanoid robot","publisher":"Lanxin Robotics","url":"https://www.lanxinrobotics.com/humanoid-robots/vb1-i/","date":"2026"},{"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":"2024-10-15"},{"title":"About Lanxin Robotics","publisher":"Lanxin Robotics","url":"https://www.lanxinrobotics.com/about/","date":"2026"},{"title":"OmniHead","publisher":"Lanxin Robotics","url":"https://www.lanxinrobotics.com/humanoid-robots/omnihead/","date":"2026"}],"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-versabot-vb1","inquiry_url":"https://merarobotics.com/en/start?service=purchase&robot=lanxin-versabot-vb1"}
