HANOI, Vietnam – VinRobotics, Vingroup's robotics company, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Infineon Technologies AG, a global semiconductor leader in power systems and IoT, to explore collaboration in building next-generation robotics applications. The partnership aims to establish the VinRobotics-Infineon Competency Center (VRICC) within VinRobotics' facilities, creating a platform for technical exchange and co-innovation. Infineon will participate in VinRobotics' robotics projects from early development stages, combining the strengths of both engineering teams and connecting with the global robotics ecosystem.
Under the VRICC framework, VinRobotics will prioritize evaluating Infineon's advanced semiconductor solutions across its robotics platforms. Infineon will share its semiconductor expertise and contribute to training programs for VinRobotics' R&D personnel, while both parties identify areas of mutual interest for future engagement. This collaboration is a strategic milestone in VinRobotics' journey to build internationally competitive core technology capabilities and reinforces the growing role of Vietnamese enterprises in the global technology ecosystem.
Mr. Ngo Quoc Hung, Chief Executive Officer of VinRobotics, said: "We highly value the opportunity to engage with Infineon, a global technology leader with world-class semiconductor expertise and a strong technology ecosystem. The VRICC is intended to provide a meaningful platform for our teams to learn from Infineon's expertise, evaluate emerging semiconductor technologies, and explore areas of mutual interest. As VinRobotics continues to build core technology capabilities through engagement with world-class technology partners, we believe initiatives such as this will help lay the foundation for a new generation of robotics solutions developed in Vietnam, serving both the domestic market and gradually expanding into international markets."
Philipp von Schiersteadt, Chief Sales Officer Compute, Consumer & Communication at Infineon Technologies AG, said: "As a global semiconductor leader and trusted partner to the robotics market, we support our customers from idea to mass production, helping them tackle critical deployment requirements such as efficient power flow, balanced movement, dexterity, robustness, and fulfilling safety requirements. We provide the electronics foundation for physical AI at scale, built on profound system competency across the stack as well as on our industry-leading safety and security expertise. Our collaboration with VinRobotics will focus on accelerating the development of next-generation humanoid robots for deployment in various sectors, from industry to services and the home."
Established in November 2024, VinRobotics is a technology company under Vingroup and a pioneer in Vietnam's robotics industry, with the vision of becoming a world-leading robotics technology enterprise. The company focuses on researching and developing next-generation robotics platforms for broad applications in industrial and daily life settings. This partnership with Infineon marks an important step in VinRobotics' strategy to expand its R&D capabilities while strengthening ties with leading global technology partners.
As robotics and automation technologies accelerate worldwide, the collaboration between VinRobotics and Infineon is expected to drive innovation in robotics, leveraging Infineon's expertise in power systems and IoT to advance robot capabilities in efficiency, movement, and safety. The VRICC will serve as a hub for developing next-generation robots, potentially impacting industries such as manufacturing, services, and home assistance.
