Pang Chamnan, Robocon Cambodia director of the state-run National Television of Cambodia (TVK) which co-organized the event with ABU, said that this year’s competition themes were “Casting flowers over Angkor Wat” and “Throwing rings into poles.” Accordingly, a pair of robots were required to complete a task within a timeframe, contributing to advancing engineering and broadcasting technologies in the region and to foster friendship among young people with similar interest.

As a result, Japan won the ABU Robocon 2023, followed by the team from Hong Kong (China). Vietnam and China finished third at the ABU Robocon.

Also at the event, Cambodia handed over the ABU Robocon flag to Vietnam, the event’s host in 2024.
