It made its international debut at CES 2026 on Qualcomm's stand and is meant to start working in the group's factories and service businesses.","sections":[{"h":"History and launch","p":["VinMotion was set up in January 2025 and had a working prototype a little over three months later. In June 2025 a video of a walking, waving biped with the VinMotion logo went viral, and Vietnamese media called it the country's first home-grown humanoid. Chairman Nguyen Trung Quan said five prototype versions had been built by then, all designed in-house from mechanics to software.","On August 8, 2025, at Vingroup's 32nd anniversary, several VinMotion robots danced in sync live in front of more than 1,000 guests. The company stressed the routine was not purely pre-scripted: the robots used distance sensors, and keeping them in sync required tuned real-time networking despite crowd Wi-Fi interference.","The second generation, Motion 2, debuted internationally at CES 2026 in Las Vegas (January 6-9) at Qualcomm's booth. Beforehand VinMotion released a video of it punching through a board, crouching to pick up a teddy bear and doing a deep backbend."]},{"h":"Hardware","p":["Qualcomm says Motion 2 runs on its Dragonwing IQ9 Series processor; some CES coverage wrongly tied it to the newer IQ10 Series that Qualcomm announced at the same show. The robot has five-fingered hands.","VinMotion has not published a full official spec sheet. Height and weight figures circulating on industry sites are hard to attribute, since similar numbers also appear for the VR-H3 from sister company VinRobotics, so they are not given here."]},{"h":"Software and AI","p":["VinMotion builds deployments around a human-in-the-loop model: robots work semi-autonomously while operators supervise and step in live, and each correction becomes training data. It calls its fleet stack \"Humanoid of Things\", combining software, AI modules, deployment tools and operator interfaces."]},{"h":"Applications","p":["VinMotion says the robots will first go to VinFast's EV plants for parts transport, quality checks and repetitive line work, with logistics, healthcare, education, customer service and home help to follow. VinFast already runs more than 1,200 conventional industrial robots. No figures have been published for Motion 2 units in permanent service."]},{"h":"Manufacturer","p":["VinMotion belongs to Vingroup, Vietnam's largest private conglomerate. Its charter capital is VND 1 trillion (about $38 million), 51% held by Vingroup and the rest by founder Pham Nhat Vuong. It is based in Hanoi (Technopark Tower, Vinhomes Ocean Park) and has opened a Ho Chi Minh City office. It draws on VinAI, VinBigData and VinFast plants for testing, while sister company VinRobotics handles industrial automation."]},{"h":"Price and availability","p":["There is no public price or sales date for Motion 2; for now it is being piloted inside Vingroup companies."]}],"timeline":[["2025-01","Vingroup establishes VinMotion"],["2025-06","First public showing of a VinMotion humanoid prototype"],["2025-08","Synchronized robot dance at Vingroup's anniversary"],["2026-01","Motion 2 international debut at CES 2026 with Qualcomm"]],"faq":[["Who makes the Motion 2 robot?","VinMotion, a subsidiary of Vietnam's Vingroup."],["What chip does Motion 2 use?","According to Qualcomm, a Dragonwing IQ9 Series processor."],["Can you buy Motion 2?","Not yet; it is being piloted within Vingroup companies and no price has been announced."],["What will Motion 2 do?","First parts transport, quality checks and line work at VinFast plants, later service and logistics roles."],["Is it Vietnam's first humanoid?","Vietnamese media described VinMotion's June 2025 prototype as the first humanoid developed in Vietnam; Motion 2 is its successor."]],"sources":[{"title":"Vietnam unveils first humanoid robot in bold leap into global tech","publisher":"Tuoi Tre News","url":"https://news.tuoitre.vn/vietnam-unveils-first-humanoid-robot-in-bold-leap-into-global-tech-103250606153729109.htm","date":"2025-06-06"},{"title":"Vietnam's homegrown robot makes global debut","publisher":"Dtinews","url":"https://dtinews.dantri.com.vn/print/20250610153555943.htm","date":"2025-06-10"},{"title":"Vietnam's dancing humanoid robots","publisher":"Interesting Engineering","url":"https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/vietnams-dancing-humanoid-robots","date":"2025-08-15"},{"title":"Qualcomm unveils Dragonwing IQ10 and next-gen robotics stack at CES","publisher":"BIS Infotech","url":"https://www.bisinfotech.com/qualcomm-unveils-dragonwing-iq10-and-next-gen-robotics-stack-for-intelligent-energy-efficient-humanoids-and-industrial-amrs-at-ces/","date":"2026-01"},{"title":"Qualcomm bets big on robotics, beginning with this bendy-backed humanoid","publisher":"OODA Loop","url":"https://oodaloop.com/briefs/technology/qualcomm-bets-big-on-robotics-beginning-with-this-bendy-backed-humanoid/","date":"2026-01"},{"title":"VinMotion website","publisher":"VinMotion","url":"https://vinmotion.net","date":"2026-10"}],"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/vinmotion-motion-2","inquiry_url":"https://merarobotics.com/en/start?service=purchase&robot=vinmotion-motion-2"}
