Ninh Binh (VNA) – The final round of the Vietnam Robot Innovation Contest – Robocon 2025 officially commenced in the evening of June 8 at the Ninh Binh provincial Gymnasium, featuring 32 teams representing universities, academies, and technical colleges from across the country.
Co-organised by Vietnam Television (VTV) and the Ninh Binh provincial People's Committee, this year’s competition is being held in the context that Vietnam is implementing the Politburo’s Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW, which outlines a breakthrough strategy for the advancement of science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Dinh Dac Vinh, Deputy General Director of VTV and Head of the Organising Committee, praised the participating teams as technological “warriors” who successfully advanced through a highly competitive qualifying round.
Robocon provides a practical environment where students can gradually master core technologies, contributing to the development of an elite workforce in the field, he said.
The Robocon 2025 theme, "Basketball Warriors," requires the teams to design robots capable of real-time opposition and team coordination, mirroring a live sports match.
The organisers hope the competition will help shape a generation of exceptional engineers who will make significant contributions to Vietnam’s scientific and technological progress in this era of transformation.
The winning team from this final round will represent Vietnam at the ABU Robocon 2025 competition, scheduled to be held in Mongolia in August.
The final round will run through to June 13./.
