Cytron Technologies was founded in 2004 by a team of five robotic enthusiasts from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). It is a Malaysian company based in Penang, which expanded further in 2013 with its surface mount technology (SMT) facility to design and manufacture its own robotic parts and electronic components. [3][4]
Product
Cytron builds simple electronic circuit boards such as H-bridge, motor drivers, and Arduino-compatible boards.[5] Initially, it catered to the engineering school market, including undertaking a modular robotic system for the K-12 market.[6][7]
They now also provide solutions for educators and students to build smart electronic & robotic projects.
Initiative
In order to create keen engagement with the younger generation in digital making, Cytron believes that simplifying digital making is key. In 2014, Cytron launched rero, ASEAN’s first educator robotics kit for students. [3] With rero, the team aims to bring robotics to the masses to encourage more youngsters to embrace robotics and technology.
The company organizes annual educator conferences to help Malaysian primary and secondary school teachers with teaching coding and robotics. The conferences serve as a platform for educators to meet, share experiences, and explore ideas for collaboration.[8] [9]
Cytron also runs national-level robotics and coding competitions for primary and secondary school students, often alongside the KL Engineering & Science Fair during year-end school holidays.[10] [11]
