The final round of the 2019 Vietnam Robocon officially opened in Hai Duong city on May 7.
32 teams from universities across the
country will compete from May 7 to 12. The best team will go on to
represent Vietnam at the ABU Asia-Pacific Robot Contest 2019 in Mongolia
in August, which will bring together the best team of each country in
the Asia-Pacific region to compete on the international playground.
ABU Robocon 2019 will be held in Ulaanbaatar, the capital and largest
city of Mongolia, with the slogan "Sharing the knowledge". This year’s
contest theme of “Great Urtuu” is inspired by a traditional messenger
system of Mongolia called Urtuu, which was innovated by the nomadic
Mongolians for exchanging information over long distances.
Robocon Vietnam is an annual robot contest which has been held by
Vietnam Television (VTV) since 2002. As a new feature of this year’s
contest, the organizers have created live-streaming sessions on social
media to provide technical assistance for participating students.
The ABU Asia-Pacific Robot Contest was founded in 2002 by the
Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union. In the competition, robots compete to
complete a task within a set period of time. The contest aims to create
friendship among young people with similar interests who will lead their
countries in the 21st century as well as to help advance engineering
and broadcasting technologies in the region.
