Domestic enterprises presented autonomous delivery robots, self-driving cars, military UAVs at the “Make in Vietnam” technology exhibition, part of the Vietnam International Digital Week.

At the exhibition opened in Ninh Binh Province on Monday, Alpha Asimov Robotics showcased its autonomous delivery robot, which navigates urban outdoor environments, recognizing pedestrians, motorcycles, parked cars, and traffic signs.

VinFast highlighted self-driving car technologies it is developing for future use in public transportation, resorts and urban areas. Its test vehicle demonstrated the ability to autonomously drive on a closed loop for 30 minutes, maintaining lane position and picking up and dropping off passengers.

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) sector also featured prominently. Three companies displayed their UAV technologies: the Z113 Factory of the Ministry of National Defense, Real-time Robotics and HTI.

Real-time Robotics presented the HERA UAV designed for search-and-rescue operations. It simulated a mission to locate and assist victims in isolated areas while also providing security surveillance.

The HERA UAV can fly at altitudes of 80-100 meters and is equipped with thermal imaging cameras to detect signs of life and monitor security from around 50 meters.

The Z113 Factory brought three models: the UAV-50, UAV-BB01 and UAV FPV. The UAV-50 demonstrated precise delivery and resupply capabilities from 50 meters in the air, while the UAV-BB01 can drop combat tools from 100 meters and track moving vehicles using AI. FPV, designed for combat scenarios, displayed its deep penetration capabilities in battle conditions.

HTI company showed off its VTOL Horus P02 reconnaissance UAV, which can reach an altitude of 200 meters. It uses AI to detect and record moving targets, transmitting high-resolution images to ground stations and capturing license plate details clearly.

The Vietnam International Digital Week 2025, running from Oct. 27 to 29, is organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology in collaboration with Ninh Binh Province. It focuses on developing safe and trustworthy AI through discussions on legal and ethical frameworks for regulation and governance.

It includes minister-level roundtables and specialized conferences, seminars, international cooperation forums, and technology demonstrations.

The event underscores Vietnam’s increasing role in international integration and its growing influence in shaping the future of technology.
