VR-M3

VR-M3 is the mid-range humanoid robot in VinRobotics' lineup, the Vingroup robotics company that builds Vietnam's first industrial humanoids. VinRobotics lists it as the third prototype of its mid-range humanoid line for industrial and service applications, and it is one of the two robots, with the high-end VR-H5, that make up the VinRobotics Humanoid Platform. The company describes it as a roughly 60 kg humanoid and calls it the world's first heavy humanoid to climb unfamiliar staircases with a 5 kg payload. In a May 2026 demonstration it climbed stairs at 0.6 m/s using only a single onboard camera, with no LiDAR, no motion capture, no handrails, no teleoperation and no pre-mapped environment. The camera builds a 3D picture of the terrain ahead, a learned locomotion policy picks safe footholds, and the robot shortens its stride when it carries extra weight. The policy was trained entirely in simulation and transferred to the real robot without any real-world fine-tuning. VinRobotics builds the platform on ROS 2, MuJoCo, Isaac Lab and LeRobot, with SDKs and APIs, and plans to release the VR-M3 URDF model and a reinforcement-learning training pipeline as open source.
