Vbot ATOM
AI ChatLast updated:
Vbot ATOM is a bipedal humanoid from Vbot (维他动力) in Beijing, unveiled on August 19, 2026 at the World Robot Conference as a humanoid embodied-intelligence terminal designed for living spaces. It stands 160 cm tall with a 180 cm arm span and 95 cm legs, a size Vbot chose to feel approachable around people while reaching tables, shelves, doors and buttons built for human bodies. It has 31 degrees of freedom: two in the head, seven in each of the two arms, three in the waist and six in each leg, so the head, arms, waist and legs can all take part in a task, and a single arm can work within an 80 cm radius. A face screen and ear lights show what the robot is doing, a fabric covering wraps the body and noise-damping soles keep it quiet indoors. Vbot reports that ATOM runs on a D-Robotics Sunrise S100P computing chip and shares the Vbot Embodied Genome model system with its Big Head robot dogs: OmniDuplex for real-time conversation while deep reasoning continues in the background, WorldModel for predicting the outcome of actions and EvoMorph for carrying one intelligence across quadruped, wheel-legged and humanoid bodies. Skills arrive by over-the-air updates. Vbot offers ATOM in personal, enterprise and developer editions for home, retail, public-service and office settings, and plans first deliveries by the end of 2026.
