The Vietnam 1 team is the runner-up.

This year’s event featured 13 teams from 12 countries and territories including two from Vietnam. All teams competed under the theme "Harvest Day," inspired by terraced rice cultivation. Robots must perform tasks that simulate the rice cultivation process, from sowing seeds to harvesting, within a set period of time.

The ABU Asia-Pacific Robot Contest 2024 (ABU ROBOCON 2024) is held in the Northern province of Quang Ninh’s Ha Long city.

Annually held by the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU), the contest offers a playground for students passionate about robotics from the Asia-Pacific.

The event is not just a science and technology competition but also an opportunity for young people to connect, learn, and share experience. Besides official matches, cultural exchanges and sightseeing tours of Ha Long Bay have been held.

It is expected to help Quang Ninh promote its image, people and culture in particular and Vietnam’s in general to international friends and contribute to affirming Vietnam’s position in the field of technology.

At the ABU Robocon 2023 in Phnom Penh, Japan was the winner of the grand prix of the competition, followed by Hong Kong (China). Vietnam and China finished third at the event.

The ABU Robocon 2025 will be held in Mongolia.
