VR-H3
AI ChatLast updated:
The VR-H3 is VinRobotics' third-generation high-end humanoid robot prototype, engineered for stable bipedal locomotion using reinforcement learning-based control with bio-inspired gait design, domain randomization, and curriculum learning for natural movement on varied terrains. Standing approximately 178 cm tall and weighing 75-85 kg, it features 31 smart motors driving rotary joints that mimic human kinematics, enabling fluid walking, gesturing, and object manipulation in crowded or hazardous environments like factories. Each arm lifts up to 3 kg, with swappable batteries supporting continuous operation. Equipped for semi-autonomous tasks, it navigates via visual and inertial systems, performs human-like interactions such as waving and handshakes, and prioritizes upper-body stability during dynamic lower-body adaptation. Aimed at industrial assistance, research, and future full automation, VR-H3 advances humanoid scalability with open interfaces for upper-body customization and robust sim-to-real transfer.
No public way to buy it as of Nov 2026.
