Vingroup's humanoid robots VinMotion make performance in Hanoi

Party chief To Lam and Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on Tuesday watched the performance of humanoid robots VinMotion, a product of Vietnam's leading private conglomerate Vingroup.

The performance took place at the groundbreaking and inauguration ceremony for 250 key projects to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Vietnam's August Revolution and the National Day (September 2, 1945-2025) in Dong Anh ward, Hanoi.

The robots are capable of performing basic operations such as walking, waving, and interacting with gestures, demonstrating great potential for application in production lines, services, and life.

In the first phase, the robots will be deployed in the factories of VinFast, an electric vehicle arm of Vingroup, to support works like transportation of components and quality inspection.

In the medium and long term, the company aims to develop intelligent robots capable of communicating and processing images and languages and for application in the fields of logistics, healthcare, education, customer service, and even personal care at home.

The humanoid robots mark Vingroup's big step into the high-tech field, opening up expectations of bringing Vietnam into the global robot race.

Chairman Pham Nhat Vuong recently stated that Vingroup plans to explore two new business pillars: infrastructure and energy, in addition to its existing three major sectors - real estate, technology & industry, and social philanthropy.

The corporation has proposed several major infrastructure projects to the government, including the North-South high-speed railway, the Phu My Hung-Can Gio high-speed railway, the Hanoi-Quang Ninh railway, and a seaport development.

It is also seeking the government's permission to develop seven renewable energy projects worth $20-25 billion and a $5.5 billion LNG-fired power project from 2025-2030.

Vingroup JSC (HoSE: VIC) reported a consolidated net profit of VND4,509 billion ($172.2 million) in the first half of 2025, up 120% year-on-year, driven by strong performance in real estate and electric vehicle segments.
