The construction of this robot gripper incorporates a blend of soft actuators and rigid links, optimised for smooth coexistence and collaboration between human and machine. This is further facilitated by an aesthetically appealing design that aims to bridge the emotional distance. The extensive use of recyclable materials ensures a lower CO2 balance in production and thus contributes to greater environmental sustainability.
Statement by the Jury
