The drone technology ecosystem in South Asia has grown rapidly in recent years, with applications expanding across key sectors such as disaster response, healthcare delivery, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. While the progress is promising, challenges persist—especially in strengthening local expertise, refining regulatory frameworks, and developing cohesive policies. A more strategic and collaborative approach is critical to ensure the sustainability and impact of this growth.
Bangladesh Open Source Network (BdOSN), the official national organizer of the World Robot Olympiad Bangladesh (WROBd), is stepping up its efforts to expand and elevate robotics education across the country. Since securing official membership in 2020 and successfully organizing the national WRO competition for the first time in 2021, BdOSN has remained committed to developing a strong robotics culture among Bangladeshi youth.
