Crimson Arradaza, thiếu niên 15 tuổi đến từ Philippines, đã lập nên thành tích lịch sử với thành tích giải Rubik bằng một tay trong 5,33 giây tại Giải Vô địch Rubik Tốc độ Quốc gia Philippines lần đầu tiên được tổ chức.
THÀNH PHỐ TAGAYTAY, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – Ngày 2 tháng 6 năm 2026 – Đông Nam Á đã ghi dấu ấn mạnh mẽ trên đấu trường giải rubik tốc độ (speedcubing) toàn cầu.
Trong một khoảnh khắc làm chấn động cộng đồng giải Rubik tốc độ quốc tế, thần đồng người Philippines Crimson Arradaza đã phá vỡ kỷ lục thế giới nội dung giải Rubik 3x3x3 bằng một tay với thời gian ấn tượng 5,33 giây tại Giải Vô địch Rubik Tốc độ Quốc gia Philippines đầu tiên do Hiệp hội Thể thao Trí tuệ Châu Á (AMSA) và Ủy ban Olympic Philippines (POC) tổ chức.
Giải đấu được tổ chức từ ngày 27 đến 28 tháng 5 tại Trung tâm Đối kháng (Combat Arena) của Thành phố Tagaytay, là sự kiện giải Rubik tốc độ có quy mô lớn đầu tiên nhận được sự hậu thuẫn ở cấp quốc gia trong khuôn khổ phong trào Olympic Philippines— và ngay lập tức đã tạo nên lịch sử.
Màn trình diễn xuất sắc của Arradaza đã phá vỡ kỷ lục 5,66 giây trước đó do Dhruva Sai Meruva của Thụy Sĩ thiết lập vào năm 2024. Quan trọng hơn, thành tích này đã vượt qua những giới hạn mà nhiều người từng cho là không thể ở nội dung giải Rubik bằng một tay, đưa Philippines trở thành tâm điểm của các môn thể thao trí tuệ toàn cầu. Đây là một thành tích đáng kinh ngạc đối với một quốc gia đang phát triển mạnh trong bộ môn giải Rubik tốc độ.
Arradaza, người vừa tròn 15 tuổi ngày hôm trước, cho biết: “Tôi đã chơi môn giải Rubik tốc độ trong bốn năm qua và đây là món quà sinh nhật tuyệt vời nhất mà tôi dành tặng cho bản thân mình”.
Chàng thiếu niên đến từ thành phố Baguio đã di chuyển tám tiếng đồng hồ cùng với cha mẹ của mình để tham gia thi đấu tại Tagaytay, một lời nhắc đầy ý nghĩa về những hy sinh và sự ủng hộ phía sau mỗi nhà vô địch trẻ tuổi.
Ông Jim Yu, Tổng giám đốc của Hiệp hội AMSA, phát biểu: “Đây không chỉ là thành tựu của Philippines. Đây còn là thành tựu của cả châu Á. Tương lai của các môn thể thao trí tuệ thuộc về thế hệ trẻ, và hôm nay Philippines đã cho thế giới thấy những điều tài năng Đông Nam Á có thể làm được”.
Chủ tịch Ủy ban POC, ông Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino và Thị trưởng thành phố Tagaytay, Ross Tolentino cũng có mặt để chứng kiến thành tích lịch sử này.
Chủ tịch Ủy ban POC, ông Tolentino cho biết: “Thể thao không chỉ là sức mạnh thể chất. Thể thao còn là về sự nhạy bén về trí tuệ, kỷ luật và sự tập trung. Người Philippines vốn có năng khiếu bẩm sinh trong các môn thể thao trí tuệ, và kỷ lục thế giới này chứng minh rằng chúng ta có thể cạnh tranh với những người giỏi nhất trên toàn cầu.”
Bên cạnh các cuộc thi, sự kiện kéo dài hai ngày này còn có các chương trình đào tạo trọng tài, hội thảo vận hành và các buổi đối thoại về phát triển nhằm mục đích củng cố hệ sinh thái giải Rubik tốc độ.
Hiệp hội AMSA tái khẳng định cam kết phát triển các môn thể thao trí tuệ trên khắp châu Á thông qua việc hợp tác với các Ủy ban Olympic quốc gia, liên đoàn và các đơn vị tổ chức địa phương.
Tổ chức này dự định tiếp tục phát triển các cuộc thi khu vực, lộ trình phát triển tài năng, cơ sở hạ tầng phát sóng trực tiếp, hệ thống trọng tài, các chương trình thu hút giới trẻ và các hoạt động giao lưu quốc tế nhằm đưa thể thao trí tuệ lên mức độ được công nhận rộng rãi chưa từng có trên khắp châu Á.

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 June 2026 – VinDynamics, a technology company under Vingroup, has officially unveiled its first humanoid robot, Dyno, at two of the world’s premier technology and robotics events: the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2026), taking place from June 1 to 5 in Vienna, and Computex Taipei 2026, held from June 2 to 5 in Taipei. The debut marks a significant milestone in VinDynamics’ journey toward mastering humanoid robotics technology while demonstrating the research and development capabilities of Vietnamese engineers on the global technology stage.
At the center of VinDynamics’ showcases is Dyno, an intelligent humanoid robot designed to serve as a versatile assistant for modern living environments.
At the center of VinDynamics’ showcases is Dyno, an intelligent humanoid robot designed to serve as a versatile assistant for modern living environments. Equipped with an advanced AI platform and a highly responsive environmental sensing system, Dyno is optimized for security and surveillance applications across urban areas, campuses, and integrated service complexes. The robot is also being developed as a household assistant capable of supporting a wide range of everyday tasks through its flexible arm span and dexterous object manipulation capabilities.
A key highlight at both ICRA 2026 and Computex 2026 is Dyno’s live demonstration as a robotic guide. The humanoid robot was previously piloted at Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc, one of Vietnam’s largest semi-wildlife conservation parks. Operating in a demanding outdoor environment, Dyno demonstrated natural communication abilities, multilingual narration, and flexible responses to visitors’ questions, delivering a distinctive and engaging guest experience.
The pilot program at Vinpearl Safari showcased Dyno’s adaptability in real-world service scenarios and highlighted the potential of humanoid robots across tourism, hospitality, and customer service applications. Its ability to operate reliably in real-world environments, handle dynamic situations, and interact directly with people represents an important step toward future commercial deployment of humanoid robotics.
At both events, VinDynamics is also presenting a comprehensive robotics technology ecosystem developed by its team of Vietnamese engineers. In addition to the fully-integrated Dyno humanoid robot, the company is showcasing two high-value core components: a specialized actuator system and a robotic hand with internationally-benchmarked dexterity. VinDynamics is also introducing a dedicated AI training dataset optimized for real-world application scenarios.
Mastering the entire humanoid robotics value chain, from hardware to software and from mechanical design to artificial intelligence, stands as clear evidence of the research and development capabilities of Vietnamese engineers. VinDynamics’ efforts also provide a strong foundation for its global expansion strategy and long-term technology partnerships with leading technology corporations, research institutions, and international enterprises in robotics and AI. These initiatives will gradually position humanoid robotics developed by Vietnamese engineers more deeply within the global technology value chain.
Mr. La Manh Hung, Chairman of VinDynamics, said: “The introduction of Dyno at ICRA 2026 and Computex 2026 is not only an important milestone for VinDynamics but also reflects the aspirations of Vietnamese engineers to contribute to one of today’s most advanced technology fields. With the belief that humanoid robots will play an increasingly important role in daily life, VinDynamics is focused on developing practical technologies with people at the center.”
Founded in September 2025, VinDynamics is Vingroup’s pioneering humanoid robotics company, with a vision to develop versatile, human-centric robots capable of seamlessly integrating into everyday life and scaling globally. As the global humanoid robotics market is projected to reach tens of trillions of dollars by 2050, driven by rapid advances in AI, sensors, and automation, VinDynamics’ presence at ICRA 2026 and Computex 2026 further reinforces the pioneering role of Vietnamese enterprises in one of the 21st century’s most strategic technology trends.
