Robocon Vietnam 2023 is an engineering technology innovation competition for students organized by Vietnam Television (VTV). The competition is an environment for practicing and testing knowledge of mechanical design, control programming, electricity... and many other soft skills.
Robocon is a competition initiated and maintained by the Asia- Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) since 2002. The contest questions will be announced by the host country each year and used by participating countries.
In 2023, Cambodia will host the ABU Robocon competition. Inspired by the architecture of Angkorian temples and traditional games, the competition requires two robots, Rabbit and Elephant, to perform the tasks of tossing rings into the pillars on the field.
In Vietnam, teams participating in the Robocon competition must go through 2 rounds. The regional qualifying round and the final round. After the qualifying round, 32 teams will participate in the Robocon Vietnam Final Round 2023 held in Nam Dinh City. The program will be broadcast live at 8:30 p.m. from May 23 to May 28, 2023 on VTV2 channel.
Mr. Dinh Dac Vinh, Deputy General Director of VTV - Head of the Organizing Committee of Robocon Vietnam 2023, said: “The Robocon 2023 exam is moderately complex because the teams are not required to build fully automatic robots. After a 3-year hiatus, this exam is quite suitable for the participating teams when students return to this playground. Vietnam Television, as the organizing unit, will support the students in the best way so that the competition takes place objectively, publicly, and with high quality, to select the best robot team to participate in the international competition in Phnom Penh - Cambodia in August 2023”.
With the Robocon competition theme changing every year, teams must use two robots, either manually controlled or programmed, to complete the task. To meet this requirement, contestants must have extensive knowledge of programming, mechanical design and electronic circuit design. This year's competition, titled " Exploring the Ancient Temple", tends to emphasize the competitive nature of the game. Teams will compete for points by throwing rings up to pillars of different heights on the field. The winning team must use strategies to deploy their robots and prevent their opponents from reaching their goals.
An interesting point in the rules of the game is that the team with the ring on top wins the point. Therefore, the teams have to compete with each other continuously, making the field very exciting. Popular technologies applied by many teams in this year's competition include omnidirectional wheel technology, laser distance measurement technology or Gyro gyroscope sensor. These are technologies that increase the accuracy of the movement and activities of robots on the field, and are also familiar technologies that are widely used in factories and automated production lines of businesses today.
Programming or mastering such technologies will greatly benefit students both in and out of the competition.
