Due to the fast industrial growth and the ASEAN market integration, Cambodia will need more high-capacity human resources with technological innovation and invention to keep its economic growth and regional competency strong. A practical workspace equipped with digital fabrication tools is vital for electronics hardware design and customization to achieve product prototyping or small-scale manufacturing, paving the way to bring innovative ideas into the real world. However, such an environment is limited to accessible in Cambodia. FabLab comes to fill this gap with great benefits for the student, instructor, researcher, and industrial developer to validate and materialize their ideas. HEIP-ITC-SGA#02 “Toward Production Innovation via FabLab-ITC” aims to establish of Digital-Control Fabrication Lab (FABLAB) at ITC and focus on the intelligent farm to improve the productivity and management, which is reliable and available to everyone, thereby enabling the concept of Do It Yourself (DIY).
In summary, FabLab is a small-scale workshop offering digital fabrication. It is typically equipped with an array of flexible computer-controlled tools that cover several different length scales and various materials to make “almost anything.” FabLab will be a technical prototyping platform for innovation and invention, providing stimulus for local and international entrepreneurship. Moreover, FabLab is also a platform for learning and innovation: a place to play, create, learn, mentor, and invent. Finally, being a FabLab means connecting to a global community of learners, educators, technologists, researchers, makers, and innovators. The expected outputs include a practical workspace with adequate digital fabrication tools, leading ITC to be the main focal point in Cambodia. FabLab allows all types of small projects related to digital fabrication to be achievable at a low price, especially for students. FabLab will become a place for researchers and innovators to make new products in the form of prototypes, that is, small-scale and low-cost fabrication of a product before transforming into mass production.

The traditional methods of farming and ever-decreasing farm labor availability are making agriculture economically unviable and inefficient. Research on the development of intelligent, autonomous machinery for carrying out agricultural activities is essential to improve the quantity and quality of agricultural produce. Cambodia’s economic success has relied on agriculture and the low-skill industries such as textiles and apparel. To remain competitive, Cambodia must prepare its human resource for the industries that heavily rely on science, technology, and engineering. HEIP-ITC-SGA#01 “Applied Control and Automation for Agriculture in Cambodia (ACAAC)” aims to conduct a research environment in the control system and power electronics with the main application in agriculture and rural area. The goals are to implement and produce scientific results in the research subjects of control and automation, specifically in the field of electrical motor drive and autonomous wheeled vehicles, and to create a research environment equipped with necessary equipment and instruments for facilitating the research activities in the field of control and automation. The primary outcomes are:
Control of drive system for the wheeled electric vehicle.
Navigation system of autonomous robot in the crop field.
The output of the cooperation of the private sector and research institution is a step forward in developing technologies in the industries and agriculture practices of the nation. The research project will be a focal point for supplying services and training to any organization interested in the development of control system engineering. With the commitment of ITC to establish a business unit interfacing the university and industries, the corporation with private sectors or NGOs to local business models are welcomed.
Control of drive system and navigation system for the wheeled electric vehicle
Autonomous robot for the agricultural field
Design and conception of low-cost and low-impact electric Tuktuk for agricultural yield collection
