VB2 is the second-generation VersaBot wheeled humanoid from Lanxin Robotics of Hangzhou. Compared with VB1 it has a narrower base, 7-joint arms, a larger 5 kg gripper payload and longer battery life.
History
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.
Hardware
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.
Applications
Lanxin pitches the VersaBot family at industrial manufacturing, commercial services, home care, healthcare, education and entertainment. It has not named customers using VB2.
