Vietnam is an emerging market for robots. Many businesses – especially big corporations like Samsung, Toshiba, Bosch, Intel … are in very high demand for automation to optimize production, increase safety, reduce costs. A key player in this process is the Robot Engineers, through the design and manufacture of industrial production lines that require processing capabilities related to artificial intelligence and intelligent control systems.

Vietnam automation market is expected to be worth USD 184.5 million by 2021 (Frost & Sullivan 2018).

At the beginning of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, since 2014, HCMUT Bach Khoa has gradually built and integrated into the curriculum of new subjects and new fields of interdisciplinary knowledge (physics, biology, digital data, artificial intelligence, big data, internet of things …) to ready to integrate the big playground.

The number of credits, number of subjects, program curriculum are designed in a manner similar to the schools in the region, as well as the reference and adjustment from the corresponding training programs of prestigious universities such as the University of Technology Sydney, The University of Adelaide (Australia), Southern Polytechnic State University (USA).

Directly taking classes are professors, associate professors, doctors and masters who are well-trained in advanced universities in the world, with rich teaching experience and scientific research achievements.
