A 15-member Bangladesh team today left for Thailand to attend the 21st International Robot Olympiad (IRO).

Bangladesh is going to attend the event for the second time that will be held in Chiangmai in Thailand from 16 to 20 December, where the team will have to compete against the students of 14 different countries.
