VinMotion develops general-purpose bipedal humanoid robots, Motion_1 and Motion 2, for uses such as factory logistics, quality inspection, healthcare, education and home care.
VinMotion was established in January 2025 as a distinct Vingroup robotics entity, separate from VinRobotics and VinDynamics, with nearly USD 40 million of registered capital, and unveiled Motion_1, Vietnam first domestically made humanoid, in June 2025 after developing the first prototype in three months. Motion 2 followed. The robots are semi-autonomous with a human in the loop and adaptive learning from human feedback, which is why deployment scores 3 rather than higher. First-phase deployment is captive: VinFast electric vehicle factories, for parts transport and quality inspection. The robotics division is led by Quan Nguyen, chairman and chief scientific officer, who holds a Carnegie Mellon mechanical engineering doctorate and is a USC assistant professor, which explains the southern California office. On 2026-05-29 the Vingroup board approved acquiring shares in VinMotion USA, Inc., with a USD 12.75 million investment reported. The complication is that Vingroup now runs three overlapping robotics ventures, and VinRobotics is already a scored row; the most important open question is the effect of the VinFast May 2026 restructuring, divesting Vietnamese manufacturing for approximately USD 530 million toward an asset-light model, on the VinMotion captive deployment path.
