07 / PLATFORM LAUNCH
Vietnam Robotics Industry Operations and Service System
CDRAVIETNAM · 2026One system foundation, five platforms
Buying a robot is only the beginning. Acquiring the robot is the starting point; keeping it running long-term, stably and in compliance is the complete project.
The unified system foundation connects multi-brand devices, spatial facilities, task workflows and operating data, providing reusable, shared common capabilities for the five platforms:
- Vietnam Embodied Intelligence Mall
- Vietnam Robotics Operations Management Platform
- Vietnam Robotics Maintenance Service Platform
- Vietnam Robotics Data & Model Center
- Vietnam National Robotics Regulatory Platform
