Schaeffler and VinDynamics partner to advance technologies for humanoid robots
Schaeffler, a leading Motion Technology Company, and VinDynamics, a pioneer in humanoid robotics backed by Vingroup, have signed an MoU to establish a strategic partnership focused on joint research and technology development, where Schaeffler will supply the key components to VinDynamics for the production of humanoid robots. The signing took place in Hanoi, Vietnam, marking the first cooperation with a humanoid company in Southeast Asia, in addition to the worldwide partners Schaeffler has.
The two companies will collaborate on the research, development and optimisation of key components of humanoid robots, including actuator systems and related motion technology components under this partnership. The actuator components, supplied by Schaeffler, are critical parts of humanoid robots to produce precise, reliable movement. VinDynamics will conduct technical assessments and optimisation of its control software to ensure seamless compatibility and effective integration with Schaeffler actuator systems.
VinDynamics will share operational product data of the supplied actuators with Schaeffler, enabling Schaeffler to further improve actuator designs and performance, as well as to advance its services.
VinDynamics’ strengths in robotics research, system design and integration, combined with Schaeffler’ s innovative expertise in the field of motion technology, provides a strong foundation for driving meaningful innovations and setting new technological benchmarks.
“ Pioneering applications clearly demonstrates our spirit for innovation,” said Maximilian Fiedler, Regional CEO Asia / Pacific of Schaeffler.“ VinDynamics is an inspiring technology partner with a clear and ambitious vision for humanoid robotics. By combining Schaeffler’ s decades of expertise in actuator and drive technologies with VinDynamics’ capabilities in developing next-generation robotic systems, we are confident that this partnership will deliver significant technological advancements and contribute to shaping how humanoid robots are deployed in the future.”
“ We are honoured to collaborate with Schaeffler, one of the world’ s foremost motion technology companies with a distinguished legacy of innovation and engineering excellence,” said La Manh Hung, President of VinDynamics.
“ This partnership represents not only a convergence of technological capabilities but also a strategic alignment of vision, as both organisations are committed to shaping the future of humanoid robotics. We believe that by combining our respective strengths, this collaboration will unlock transformative opportunities and accelerate the transition of humanoid robots from research environments to impactful real-world applications across both industrial and everyday settings.” n
