On July 5th, 2025, the final round of the MTA Automation Competition 2025 officially took place at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC), Ho Chi Minh City. This prestigious event serves as a professional playground for students from top universities and colleges in Southern Vietnam, gathering outstanding teams from institutions such as Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education, Cao Thang Technical College, and Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU).
Marking its third consecutive year of participation, TDTU continued its legacy following the championship title in 2024. The Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (FEEE) proudly nominated two student teams, among which Team AutoX impressively advanced to the final round with their innovative project: “CNC Cooling Oil Quality Monitoring System – AI-Based Auto Replacement Alert”.
Comprising three second-year students majoring in Mechatronics Engineering, Team AutoX amazed the judging panel with their exceptional application of 3D scanning technology and AI in intelligent mechanical product design. Their presentation also stood out with a highly practical and human-centered approach to the ESG (Environmental – Social – Governance) solution for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Blending technological thinking with a strong sense of social responsibility, AutoX conveyed a powerful message:“We’re not just filtering oil – we’re filtering an entire mindset about ESG.” This statement not only reflected the team's innovative mindset and commitment to sustainable development values consistently embraced by TDTU students, but also showcased their competence, passion, and creativity in addressing real-world problems. Their outstanding performance serves as a testament to the high-level research and application capabilities of FEEE students and a shared source of pride for the entire faculty and university. It also reaffirms TDTU’s pioneering position in the fields of Automation and Control Engineering and Mechatronics Engineering.
