Technology 6/7: VinMotion announces humanoid robot, Hong Kong uses drones for patrol

Video of VinMotion's robot in action.

After many leaked images, VinMotion has released a video of its developing humanoid robot. It is known that VinMotion has successfully developed the “Make in Vietnam” humanoid robot in a record time of 3 months. This is the result of the passion, creativity and never-give-up spirit of VinMotion’s team of experts and engineers.

In early 2025, Vingroup officially established VinMotion with a charter capital of VND1,000 billion, marking an important turning point in its high-tech development strategy. Vingroup holds 51% of the shares, while the remainder is owned by Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong and his two children. VinMotion is assigned a pioneering role in researching, designing and developing the first multi-purpose humanoid robots bearing the "Made in Vietnam" mark.

Robot Motion 1 can move, perform some movements like waving.

Humanoid robots are widely used in many different fields. In industry, they support production, perform dangerous or repetitive tasks. In medicine , humanoid robots can care for the elderly, assist patients and monitor health remotely.

In the service sector, they act as receptionists, customer guides or personal assistants. In education, robots support teaching, interact with students and simulate training situations. In addition, in the entertainment sector, they are also used for performances, events and technology promotion, etc.

Hong Kong deploys drone patrols in urban areas

Hong Kong police (China) have deployed drone patrols for the first time in an urban area, helping to quickly monitor an area of 96,000 square meters in Yau Ma Tei and Jordan, Kowloon.

The operation follows a three-month pilot program in Kowloon West and the border area. The drones will help patrol hotspot areas and “three-zero buildings” – areas that lack resident organizations and property management services.

Patrols will expand to more busy areas in phase two, but no specific timeline has been set. Police have pledged that the devices will not be recording unless they detect something suspicious, and will continue to work with the community to ensure the deployment is effective.

Shanghai hosts the 11th International Technology Fair

From June 11 to 13, Shanghai will host the 11th China International Technology Fair (CSITF), bringing together nearly 1,000 companies from about 20 countries and regions. This year's event will focus on technology cooperation and trade, aiming at high-quality manufacturing and sustainable development.

The China International Technology Fair regularly introduces many new technologies.

With 35,000 square meters of exhibition space, the fair will showcase advances in artificial intelligence, interactive robotics, genetic testing, energy storage and the low-cost economy. In particular, for the first time, there will be exhibition areas dedicated to smart maritime technology and consumer technology.

LoveFrom Joins the Design of Rivian's First Electric Bike

LoveFrom, the creative agency founded by former Apple design chief Jony Ive, helped develop Rivian’s first electric bike. Over the course of about 18 months, LoveFrom’s team worked closely with Rivian’s engineers and designers on a special research program.

The micro-mobility project eventually spun off into a standalone startup called Also, which raised $105 million in funding from Eclipse Ventures. Also is expected to unveil its first designs later this year, with Jony Ive’s stamp likely to appear on the product.

Although LoveFrom and Rivian have not made any official comments, multiple sources say the project has helped Rivian expand the scope of electric vehicle technology applications into the micromobility field, bringing a product that is both compact and has high-end aesthetics.
