According to Dr. Huynh Ngoc Tho - Vice Rector of UD-VKU, Robocar-2024 is an annual intellectual competition (from 2018 to now - the 5^th season) to encourage creative ideas and new technology applications for students.

Encouraging creative ideas and new technology applications for students

The contest was launched and registered from the beginning of April, going through 2 qualifying rounds (May 15-25), attracting more than 100 teams with nearly 1,000 students from many universities, institutes/ academies, selecting 43 teams to participate in the second qualifying round, continuing to find 16 excellent teams to compete in the Final round.

The First Prize was awarded to Uchihahaha Team

According to the representative of the Organizing Committee, in the communication round, the teams introduced the process of forming the competing technology products; continued to research and improve technology so that the RobotCars could reduce resistance, increase engine power to overcome obstacles in the fastest time, and at the same time calculate to reduce energy consumption.

The Second Prize was awarded to Aquafina Team

The autonomous robots all had flexible competition strategies, knew how to apply path finding algorithms and ensured balance to help the vehicle control process operate stably at high speed.

The form and materials met the diverse requirements in each round's strategy, especially the Chip (AVR, STM32...) designed from programming languages ​​(Assembly, KeilC, Python...), using suitable electronic components.

The Third Prize was awarded to Lord Space Team

In the competition round, each team built two Racing Cars and Autonomous Cars to participate in the race in a relay format (Autonomous Car race track in which RoboCars were controlled manually via Wifi, RF radio waves; Racing Car race track with autonomous RoboCars using recognition and path finding techniques...).

The Fourth Prize was awarded to Wip Team

As a result, the First Prize went to Uchihahaha Team; the Second Prize went to Aquafina Team; the Third Prize went to Lord Space Team; the Fourth Prize went to Wip Team; and 12 Consolation Prizes went to the competing teams with a total prize value of nearly 40 million VND.

Fostering the spirit of innovation, passion for learning, exploring and applying new techniques, serving as a launching pad for mastering knowledge and technology 4.0

The achievements of the "playground" RoboCar-2024 that UD-VKU strives to maintain and improve each year not only attract a large number of students to participate but also contribute to fostering the spirit of innovation, passion for learning, exploring and applying new techniques, serving as a launching pad for the dream of mastering knowledge and technology 4.0.
