VIRTUAL PETROSAINS RBTX CHALLENGE

The Petrosains RBTX Challenge is an event where all robotics enthusiasts gather to compete and battle out their robotic creations in an open-source software environment. It is also a program that provides a common platform for all walks of life to learn, explore and share their interest and knowledge in robotics.

This program is aimed to raise awareness and educate the public on the rapidly evolving digital era driven by the convergence of advanced technologies, i.e. Robotics, IoT, Quantum Computing, and inspire the masses to embrace the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It is also hoped to provide the younger generation with the relevant STEM digital building skills such as coding and embedded programming.

For the first time in 2021, the Petrosains RBTX Challenge 2021 will be organized virtually, and enthusiasts can participate online from anywhere in their respective locations. The virtual Petrosains RBTX Challenge 2021 is an initiative organized by Petrosains, The Discovery Centre and supported by the Ministry of Education Malaysia.
