igus humanoid wins the first RoboCup Design Award8/6/2015
In late July 2015, the robot developer Flower Robotics Inc. in Hefei, China, organised the inaugural RoboCup Design Award within the scope of the RoboCup 2015. The aim was to sharpen the engineers' awareness and mindset in relation to humanoid design. However, the award did not focus so much on the design itself as on the simplicity of the system during use and repairs, as well as the conveyance of identity. The igus humanoid impressed in these areas. The robot's exterior and load-bearing parts were made using laser-sintering. According to Tutsuya Matsui, CEO of Flower Robotics, the judges were impressed by the fact that not only the design but also the manufacturing and servicing of the robot would be suitable for potential mass production. |
