The VR-H3 carries more than 31 actuators and two onboard edge computers, weighs 75 kilograms at 1.78 metres, handles payloads of roughly 13 to 17 pounds, and uses hot-swappable dual batteries that can be replaced individually without shutting the robot down. The company states all key technologies were developed in-house, covering mechanical architecture, real-time computing and communication, electrical and electronic architecture, power distribution, battery management and the full-body AI control framework, and it demonstrated motion-capture teleoperation through a VR headset at ICRA. Its own product page describes the line as prototypes, which is why deployment and production both score 1. The registry complication is that Vingroup runs at least three overlapping robotics ventures, VinRobotics, VinMotion and VinDynamics; this row is kept standalone because Vingroup is a property, retail and automotive conglomerate that would not otherwise carry a Humanoids row. Revisit trigger: a commercial VR-H3 sale outside Vingroup, or a stated production volume.","assessed_in":{"domain":"Humanoids","list":"Humanoids 100","rank":100,"score":50,"tier":"watchlist","scores":{"gate_ne":["technology","firepower"],"leverage":6,"position":4,"progress":8,"firepower":8,"commercial":2,"deployment":2,"production":2,"technology":6},"why":"VinRobotics develops general-purpose humanoid robots, including the VR-H3 and a third-generation platform with 31 actuators, onboard edge computers, teleoperation, and payload capacity.","segment":"General-purpose","layer":"Systems"},"signals_total":8,"facts_total":15}],"note":"Assessment by Frontier Tech Intelligence; facts and signals carry their sources."}
