2022 ROIBOT Award Winners

The ROIBOT Awards highlight cost-effective, innovative automation solutions from all over the world. 

We received a total of 110 submissions from 20 countries, which show what is possible with Low Cost Automation and Robotics.  Applicants ranged from articulated arm robots in agriculture and clever dozing solutions for the craft sector, to labeling robots for palletizing applications. 

The ROIBOT is awarded every two years by a jury of representatives from the specialist press and industry experts. The award is given to solutions that demonstrate creativity and "out-of-the-box" thinking.
