The theme for this year's Robocon competition is "Harvest Day," drawing inspiration from rice cultivation on terraced fields. Two robots will sequentially perform actions such as planting rice and harvesting, aiming to score points in each stage. Therefore, the technical requirements and handling of the robots must be precise.

This year, 10 teams participating in the Robocon competition come from various units: School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering(03 teams); Faculty of Electrical Engineering (03 teams), Faculty of Electronics Engineering(02 teams), and Vietnam-Japan Center (02 teams), all of which have presented numerous innovative ideas to tackle the challenges outlined in the 2024 competition rules, such as rice planting, harvesting, and grain storage.

Enthusiastic crowds of students gathered to cheer on the competing teams
