MiniMotion
AI ChatLast updated:
MiniMotion is a compact humanoid robot from VinMotion, the Vietnamese robotics company in the Vingroup family. VinMotion designs it for safe companionship and personalized care: a small, friendly two-legged robot meant to be part of people's daily lives. Its official film shows how agile it is. MiniMotion climbs onto a raised wooden platform using its hands and feet together, pulls itself up and stands, then jumps back down and lands with a roll. It keeps its balance while moving, adjusts its joints to stay upright when an adult stands on it, and gets back up on its own after a fall by turning over, planting its hands and pushing itself to its feet. Two MiniMotion robots also spar in boxing gloves, guarding, punching and reacting to each other. It finishes with rolls, cartwheels and backflips that show strong whole-body control. Its slim gray body comes with blue or red accents and a chest emblem that lights up. VinMotion develops MiniMotion alongside its full-size Motion 2 humanoid, with teams in Hanoi and in California.
No public way to buy it as of Nov 2026.
