Six months after their first model, VinMotion rolls out Motion 2, a humanoid robot that’s got some real improvements.
Faster walking, more agile moves, and it hauls up to 40kg–that’s the kind of spec that turns heads in industrial logistics.
I watched the demo, and the way it picks itself up after a tumble feels almost nonchalant, like it’s no big deal, but you know that’s hours of engineering grit behind it.
Then there’s the autonomous charging and battery swap; imagine robots that don’t need babysitting, just swapping in fresh power and getting back to sorting packages or whatever.
They’re testing it in factories and warehouses right now, aiming for that seamless integration into business ops.
Multi-language support too–Vietnamese, English, and more–which hints at broader applications, maybe even service roles down the line.
Vietnam’s quietly building momentum in robotics, and with CES 2026 on the horizon, VinMotion might just surprise a few folks.
The gait looks smoother than before, though I wonder about interference in crowded spaces; still, progress like this in half a year is noteworthy.
Compared to big names like Tesla’s Optimus, this feels grounded in practical, immediate use cases.
Bullish on where this heads.
