Vietnam finishes third at 2023 ABU Robocon
VOV.VN - Vietnam came third overall at the 2023 Asia-Pacific Robot Contest (ABU Robocon) which was held on August 27 at the Morodok Techo National Stadium in Cambodia.
This year saw the contest attract the participation of 14 university teams from more than 10 countries globally.
According to the final results, the robotic team from Japan took the lead, followed by Hong Kong (China), whilst China claimed third place alongside Vietnam.
Addressing the closing ceremony, Cambodia's Information Minister Neth Pheaktra noted that the international contest provided a prime opportunity for university students to demonstrate their technological capabilities and share their various experiences, all whilst showcasing cultural diversity.
This was the first such event hosted by Cambodia that also highlights the progress made in Cambodia's robot technology to the world, he stressed.
The 2023 contest themed “Casting flowers over Angkor Wat" and "Throwing rings into poles" required a pair of robots to complete a task within a timeframe. The annual event was intended to advance engineering and broadcasting technologies in the region and in a bid to foster friendships among young people who share similar interests.
At the closing ceremony, Cambodia also handed over the ABU Robocon flag to Vietnam who will play host to the 2024 ABU Robocon contest.
Previously, Vietnam triumphed at the ABU Robocon in 2018 and took third place in 2019.
