The theme "Harvest Day" was chosen to honor the value of agriculture , especially rice cultivation on terraced fields, a distinctive feature of Vietnamese culture. Participating robots will have to perform tasks simulating the rice planting process, from sowing seedlings to harvesting.
For millennia, rice has been closely associated with the Vietnamese people. It not only provides sustenance but also becomes a beautiful aspect of Vietnamese cultural and spiritual life. Today, rice is both a vital food source and a strategic export commodity for Vietnam.

In Vietnam, there is a unique form of traditional farming practiced by people living in mountainous regions: terraced rice fields. People select hillsides and mountainsides to create flat areas of land for cultivation and rice planting. The main purpose is to prevent erosion, improve soil quality, and protect the land.
With these meanings, in recent years, terraced rice fields have become a highlight of tourism , attracting many domestic and international tourists, becoming a cultural beauty and a source of pride for the Vietnamese people.
Based on these ideas, Vietnam Television, together with the People's Committee of Quang Ninh province, organized ABU Robocon 2024. This is an opportunity for Vietnam to showcase its image to international friends and affirm its position in the field of technology.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Hanh, Vice Chairman of the Quang Ninh Provincial People's Committee, stated: Quang Ninh ensures that the competition venue has full equipment and facilities meeting international standards, and has plans to ensure absolute safety for contestants from various countries, as well as providing medical care. Information and communication efforts, and tourism destinations are also being incorporated into this Robocon event with the goal of coordinating in the most active, proactive, and responsible way possible to ensure the success of the ABU Robocon competition.
The entire ABU Robocon 2024 competition at the Quang Ninh Provincial Sports Complex on August 25, 2024, will be broadcast live on VTV2, Vietnam Television, and livestreamed on the VTV2 Quality of Life Facebook social media platform.
