Vbot

Vbot is making its global debut at CES 2026 with the launch of SuperDog, its intelligent companion robot, marking a significant shift in consumer robotics. Designed to move seamlessly through everyday environments alongside families, SuperDog operates with genuine autonomy in shared human spaces—a real Physical Agent. It serves as an outdoor companion, all-day household assistant, safety guardian, and family helper.

Vbot’s approach is guided by a single principle, “Made To Be Near”. SuperDog is engineered specifically for close interaction in everyday human environments, with design choices focused on safe proximity, readable movement, and reliable operation around people. The robot features a fully rounded body with no sharp edges and pinch-free joints with 2.5 cm safety gaps between leg segments. All contact surfaces are covered and protected, allowing families to use the robot confidently around children and pets.

The fully rounded body and pinch-free joint architecture emphasize a design language rooted in safe proximity and tactile human-scale interaction.

SuperDog’s motion system is built on a character framework designed around classical animation principles, giving movement a fluid, lifelike quality. Subtle eye movements, pauses, and turns signal intent before each action, while movement follows animation principles of spacing, timing, and arcs, creating predictable behavior that families can anticipate. Designed for families who want the assurance to take it out with them, SuperDog’s 594Wh battery supports approximately five hours of active use and covers about 95 percent of typical single-day outings.

The specialized leg and foot design balances stability with flexibility, ensuring silent and graceful movement across diverse interior surfaces.

The robot integrates three distinct layers of intelligence to ensure seamless operation. Ontological intelligence prioritizes safe movement through shared human spaces, with a physical design that reduces contact risk and enables natural proximity. Spatial Intelligence enables independent operation with entirely on-device processing, using a LiDAR-based perception and a four-microphone array to navigate homes and outdoor spaces. Furthermore, Agent Intelligencerepresents SuperDog’s ability to translate understanding into autonomous action that will enable it to anticipate family needs and assist without constant commands.

Designed to evolve with household needs, SuperDog supports expansion interfaces for cargo baskets, robotic arms, cameras, selfie poles, and tow carts. This modular approach allows SuperDog to adapt over time as family routines and user requirements change. SuperDog is shaped by a focus on safety-first interaction, readable motion, reliable battery life, and mobility across real-world environments. Unlike robots adapted from industrial origins, SuperDog was engineered around the idea of belonging naturally alongside families.

The rear backplate features versatile expansion interfaces, allowing for modular add-ons that adapt to the evolving requirements of modern family life.

As one of the early companies shaping the consumer-grade physical AI category, Vbot focuses on creating robots that are capable enough for outdoor environments while remaining expressive enough for the home. By integrating advanced perception with autonomous mobility, the company aims to deliver technology that understands intent and operates safely in shared human environments. The global edition of Vbot SuperDog is scheduled to launch soon, with an expected price of approximately USD 4,000. Official availability is expected in Q2 2026. The first batch of products will debut in markets including North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
