Vietnam has strong local engineering teams capable of fast integration and on-site execution

In early January, US-based AMC Robotics Corporation announced the launch of a wholly owned subsidiary in Vietnam, to be based in Ho Chi Minh City, as part of its plan to scale up the manufacturing and production of its quadruped robotic dog, Kyro.

The Vietnamese subsidiary will operate as a dedicated regional manufacturing and operations hub, focused on robotics manufacturing execution, including supplier coordination, mechanical and electronic assembly, systems integration, quality control, and supply-chain management for Kyro.

The company said, “Vietnam is recognised as a leading centre for advanced manufacturing, offering a skilled workforce and a robust ecosystem for electronics manufacturing, robotics components, and precision assembly. AMC Robotics plans to collaborate closely with qualified local suppliers to support end-to-end manufacturing workflows, from component sourcing and sub-assembly to final system integration, testing, and validation of Kyro units.”

The establishment of the Vietnam subsidiary aligns with AMC Robotics’ long-term strategy to vertically integrate robotics hardware, AI software, and operational services, ensuring consistent production quality and reliable scalability as demand for Kyro increases.
