The 32 outstanding teams, representing universities, academies, and technical colleges across the country, are the technological “warriors” who triumphed in the fierce preliminary rounds to reach the final round.
The teams have been divided into eight groups — A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H — each comprising four teams. They are competing in a single round-robin format, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the second round. Based on their performance, the top teams from each group will be ranked from 1 to 8, while the second-place teams will be ranked from 9 to 16.
This year’s theme, “Basketball Warriors”, introduces competition rules that challenge teams not only to design fast and precise robots but also to develop smart, competitive strategies and demonstrate agile teamwork, which is reminiscent of real-life sports matches.
For the first time, the element of “real-time competitive play” has been significantly elevated, promising thrilling score-chasing duels filled with surprises.
According to Dinh Dac Vinh, Deputy General Director of Viet Nam Television and head of the event’s organising committee, this year’s Robocon Creativity Competition is being held in the context of the nation’s implementation of the Politburo’s Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation. Realising this vision requires the development and strategic use of high-quality human resources, especially in key fields such as robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence. The Robocon competition serves as a practical environment in which students gradually master core technologies, thereby contributing to building an elite workforce ready to shape the future.
The organising committee firmly believes that Robocon contestants will be exceptional engineers who make significant contributions to the country’s scientific and technological progress during this era of the nation’s rise. The competition will choose the new champion of Robocon 2025, who will represent Viet Nam at the ABU Robocon in Mongolia in August.
Over its 23 editions, the Viet Nam Robocon Creativity Competition has firmed itself as a premier technological arena combining education, research, and practical application. It is not only a competition of intelligent machines but also the largest tech playground in Viet Nam for students, a space where engineering, creativity, and teamwork come together as one.
The final round of the competition will continue until June 13.
