Vietnam is going all-in on humanoid robots!
Vingroup, the country’s biggest conglomerate, has launched multiple humanoid subsidiaries since late 2024:
* VinRobotics (Nov 2024, $40M): Already deployed humanoids at VinFast for testing + released an open-source platform for developers.
* VinMotion (early 2025, $40M): Unveiled Motion2 production-ready humanoid in early 2026. Mass production targeted for late 2026 + opening shop in Southern California for US talent.
Vietnam is moving FAST in the global robotics race.
