Over 70 submissions from around the world were received last year for the 2019/2020 ROIBOT Award. The award honours automation projects that use cost-effective igus robotics and automation solutions. The winners from Salzburg (Austria) received prize money of 5,000 euros. The students constructed a mobile robot system with grippers to carry out dangerous handling tasks from a distance. It uses a glove equipped with sensor technology allowing intuitive control by means of gestures and providing feedback. The engineers developed a drive system, a battery system, and a mechanical framework for the cost effective, maintenance-free igus robolink D articulated arm. The project impressed the expert judges enough to win first place. Second place went to Apostore’s pick-and-place system for the healthcare sector. It consisted of a robot cell and a supply system for the bulk material to be fed. Third place went to Superwurm, a German company. The earthworm farmers used igus Low Cost Automation to develop a system that counts worms automatically and packs them in cans. 

ROIBOT Award goes into the next round in 2022 The ROIBOT competition is once again searching the globe for existing Low Cost Automation applications that have led to a rapid return on investment.
