VinDynamics, a technology company under Vingroup, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Schaeffler, a global motion technology company based in Germany. This agreement brings the two companies together to explore working on future technologies.
The focus of this partnership is to jointly research and develop key parts used in humanoid robots. It will also help both companies prepare for possible future business deals. This step supports VinDynamics’ goal of growing in humanoid robotics and improving global technological collaboration.
VinDynamics and Schaeffler will work together to research, develop, and improve important parts used in humanoid robots. This includes key systems like actuators and motors.
They will test and refine Schaeffler’s prototype actuators and related parts. This work will focus on mechanical design, gear systems, and hardware details, while also considering materials, precision (tolerances), and how easy they are to manufacture.
VinDynamics will also improve its control software so it works smoothly with these actuator systems. Both companies will share technical knowledge and best practices while keeping all shared information confidential as agreed.
Mr. La Manh Hung, President of VinDynamics, said: “We are honored to collaborate with Schaeffler, one of the world’s foremost motion technology companies with a distinguished legacy of innovation and engineering excellence. This partnership represents not only a convergence of technological capabilities but also a strategic alignment of vision, as both organizations 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.”
Mr. Maximilian Fiedler, Regional CEO Asia/Pacific of Schaeffler, said: “VinDynamics is an inspiring technology partner with a clear and ambitious vision for humanoid robotics. Our collaboration underscores Schaeffler’s commitment to working alongside pioneering innovators to advance the next generation of motion technologies. By integrating 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.”
