Founded September 2025, chaired by La Manh Hung, it unveiled its own first humanoid, Dyno, on 2026-06-01 at ICRA 2026 in Vienna and Computex Taipei 2026, the same days and venues where VinRobotics showed the VR-H3. Trade coverage that week framed them as two separate humanoid programmes from the same group on parallel tracks, one industrial and one service. The product split is genuine: Dyno is a service humanoid optimised for security and surveillance across urban areas, campuses and integrated service complexes, with a public-facing proof point rather than industrial. It was piloted at Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc, one of Vietnam's largest semi-wildlife parks, as a robotic guide in a demanding outdoor environment with multilingual narration. VinDynamics claims its own stack: a specialised actuator system, a robotic hand it describes as having internationally benchmarked dexterity, and an AI training dataset optimised for real-world scenarios. Vingroup now runs three separate humanoid companies, VinRobotics, VinMotion and VinDynamics, and the registry carries all three with the overlap noted. Confidence is verified on the separation, verified_light on everything else: no funding, headcount, revenue, unit count or Dyno specifications are published.","assessed_in":{"domain":"Humanoids","list":"Humanoids 100","rank":90,"score":53,"tier":"member","scores":{"gate_ne":["firepower"],"leverage":6,"position":4,"progress":8,"firepower":8,"commercial":2,"deployment":4,"production":2,"technology":6},"why":"VinDynamics builds Dyno, its first humanoid robot, with dexterous manipulation, environmental sensing, multilingual communication and flexible responses for real-world use.","segment":"General-purpose","layer":"Systems"},"signals_total":7,"facts_total":26}],"note":"Assessment by Frontier Tech Intelligence; facts and signals carry their sources."}
