VinDynamics, a robotics technology company within Vingroup, and Skild AI, a developer of foundation models for robotics, have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on humanoid robotics and embodied AI. The partnership aims to accelerate the development and deployment of humanoid robots capable of operating in complex environments, targeting sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, hospitality, and commercial services.
Under the MOU, the collaboration will focus on embodied AI research, robot manipulation, sim-to-real transfer, edge AI deployment, and validation of humanoid systems in real-world settings. Both companies will explore opportunities to integrate The Skild Brain, Skild AI's omnibodied AI software, into VinDynamics' humanoid robots. The software runs directly on robotic hardware, enhancing adaptability, efficiency, and reliability in practical applications.
The partnership brings together VinDynamics' robotics engineering, manufacturing capabilities, and real-world deployment ecosystem through Vingroup, with Skild AI's foundation model technology. Additional areas of discussion include knowledge exchange related to robot intelligence and deployment, as well as potential cooperation in software, model, and hardware development, alongside the potential manufacturing of humanoid robots at scale.
Prof. La Manh Hung, President of VinDynamics, said: "This partnership represents an important step for VinDynamics as we continue building scalable humanoid robotics platforms for real-world deployment. Skild AI brings the most exciting advances in embodied AI today. Combined with our robotics platform and manufacturing capabilities, we believe this partnership can accelerate the deployment of humanoid robots in complex environments."
Mr. Deepak Pathak, Co-Founder and CEO of Skild AI, said: "The future of robotics depends on combining scalable physical systems with adaptable, general-purpose intelligence. VinDynamics brings strong engineering capabilities, manufacturing scale, and access to real-world deployment environments through the Vingroup ecosystem. We are excited to work together to advance embodied AI for practical applications."
Established in September 2025, VinDynamics is a pioneering company in humanoid robotics within Vingroup, dedicated to developing versatile, human-centric robots for everyday life. Skild AI, founded in 2023, builds a general-purpose foundation model for robotics and is backed by investors including SoftBank Group, NVIDIA Ventures, Jeff Bezos, and Sequoia Capital.
