VB1-I

The VB1-I is the faster-driving variant of Lanxin Robotics' wheeled humanoid VB1. Lanxin, based in Hangzhou with an office in Nagoya, is best known for 3D vision and autonomous mobile robots used by Huawei, BYD and CATL, and the VB line brings that navigation know-how to a dual-arm torso.

Where the base VersaBot VB-1 uses four omnidirectional wheels, the VB1-I runs a differential two-wheel drive on an omnidirectional platform, reaches 1.5 m/s instead of 1.2 m/s and has 30 mm of ground clearance. The footprint is 700 by 610 mm at a height of 1,650 mm. Each arm has six joints and a grip load of 2 kg, with a working range from 0.2 to 2 m above the floor.

Navigation relies on 3D laser SLAM, vision on a panoramic RGB-D camera, and the maker mentions a multimodal AI interaction hub. Runtime is 2 to 3 hours. Lanxin does not state the weight, the total number of joints or the battery capacity, and its 2026 brochure contains no humanoid section. The robot is sold, price on request, for electronics, automotive and battery plants as well as research labs.
