About
About Phenikaa-X
Established in 2020 within the Phenikaa ecosystem, Phenikaa-X develops autonomous mobility products from its base at Phenikaa University in Hanoi. The portfolio spans self-driving minibuses, drones, autonomous mobile robots and service robots, supported by in-house AI, mapping, cloud and vehicle-control development.
Its industrial focus includes APM-series autonomous pallet movers used in manufacturing logistics. The APM990 combines ADLINK control compute with point-cloud processing, while the APM1000 uses an NVIDIA Jetson-based ADLINK edge computer for vision. Phenikaa-X reports Samsung Electronics Vietnam Thai Nguyen as an AMR customer, giving the company a commercial operating signal beyond prototype autonomous-vehicle research.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-08-25 - Regulatory - Hanoi clears a 24-month autonomous transport sandbox for Phenikaa-X at Hoa Lac
Hanoi People's Committee Decision No. 4554/QD-UBND, issued on 25 August 2026, restricts the trial to designated routes equipped with high-resolution digital maps and monitoring systems. Robotaxis and delivery robots are trialled over roughly 11.5 km at Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park, while autonomous buses run a roughly 2.8 km campus route linking dormitories, lecture halls, military training facilities and bus connections. Testing runs daily from 09:00 to 16:30 at speeds expected to stay under 40 km/h, and autonomous buses and robotaxis must carry an onboard safety supervisor able to take manual control.

Phenikaa-X deployed L800 latent AMRs with rotating lifting platforms and an 800 kg payload at Samsung SEHC DA3 Workshop, Line 01. The project cut material-delivery cycle time from 11 minutes to 3 minutes 20 seconds and now moves roughly 140 trolleys per day at an error rate of about 1% per week. Phenikaa-X built the fleet-management software and integrated it with Samsung's automated control system so the L800s run alongside in-house AGVs, ABB robotic arms and safety light curtains.

Phenikaa-X contributes its in-house robotics and AI development, including core-technology work and flexible system design aimed at deployment inside domestic manufacturing environments. ABB Robotics Vietnam brings its industrial robotics ecosystem and international deployment experience to the joint work on smart-manufacturing and digital-transformation projects. Phenikaa University sits alongside the two companies as the education and applied-research bridge intended to build a technical workforce for the sector.

The pallet movers assist factory workers with heavy transport tasks as part of the plant smart-factory programme. Phenikaa-X rates the AMR Pallet Mover for loads up to 1,000 kg with dynamic load sensing plus speed and acceleration adjustment. Vietnam Investment Review framed the rollout around cost optimisation and production efficiency, with the same robot family going on to serve Samsung operations in Vietnam.
