Given the booming of Vietnam’s economy in recent years, especially the use of over 1,000 robots in the car manufacturer Vinfast's  factory, Quang Cuong is optimistic about the prospects of robotic technology in Vietnam (Photo: VNA)

He and his partners established ‘Eureka Robotics Pte Ltd’, a technology start-up to commercialise their own studied projects (Photo: VNA)

According to Quang Cuong, the gap between study and application has been ever narrowed in the age of Industrial Revolution 4.0 (Photo: VNA)
