Vietnam’s first humanoid robots dazzle crowd with precise dance moves

Vietnam’s first domestically developed humanoid robots made a striking public debut on August 8, 2025, performing synchronized dance routines at Vingroup’s 32nd anniversary event. Created by VinMotion, a startup founded just seven months earlier and backed by Vingroup, these robots showcased advanced balance, precise timing, and real-time communication enabled by in-house mechanical, electronic, and software engineering. Chairman Nguyen Trung Quan emphasized that the robots relied on distance sensors and optimized network infrastructure to maintain stability and synchronization despite potential Wi-Fi interference from the large audience. This demonstration marked a significant technological milestone for Vietnam, potentially setting a world record for rapid deployment of stable, synchronized humanoid robots. VinMotion was established with about $39 million in capital and is part of Vingroup’s broader tech ecosystem, leveraging AI, data analytics, and industrial automation capabilities from sister companies like VinAI, VinBigdata, and VinFast. The company aims to develop general-purpose humanoid robots for practical applications in manufacturing,
