February 9, 2015 | Results of France’s first national collaborative robotics competition
France’s first-ever national interactive robotics competition, held on February 5, was by all accounts a success. The event was organized by the DGE (the French government’s Directorate General for Enterprise) and the CEA and was held at the CEA’s Nano-INNOV center. Two CEA LIST start-ups, Haption and RB3D, took home prizes.
In all, four winners came away with a total of €185,000 in prize money:
- Innovation Award: Percipio for its Chronogrip compact micro-assembly cobot.
- Integration Award: a consortium consisting of the Institute for Intelligent Systems and Robotics (ISIR), a multidisciplinary research laboratory of Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Endocontrol, Institut Mutualiste Montsouris, and Haption for their JAiMY robotic instrument for minimally-invasive surgery.
- Jury’s Pick: Naio Technologies for its Oz mechanical weeding assistance robot for farmers.
- Video Award: PSA Peugeot Citroën for its crankcase deburring assistance unit with assistance cobot and collaborative robot.
Runner-up prizes were given to:
- BALYO, for its automatic handling cart.
- NEODITECH, for its Scara robotic arm.
- RB3D, for version 3 of its Hercule exoskeleton.
