The motto of the annual innovation competition in 2024 is "Robots for the People". What challenges in craft businesses can robots solve? What new interactive applications are possible? Research teams and young entrepreneurs from all over the world are invited to submit creative and innovative ideas on collaborative robotics for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Concepts can be submitted to KUKA until the end of June 2023. An international jury of experts will evaluate the best ideas and select the finalists. They will then implement their ideas with the sensitive KUKA lightweight robot LBR iisy and the new KUKA iiQKA operating and ecosystem.

The robot will be provided free of charge throughout the competition. In addition, the finalists will receive training and coaching throughout the competition.

The final of the Innovation Award traditionally takes place at a major trade show. There, the teams present their applications to a large professional audience from industry and research as well as media representatives and investors. At the end of the trade show, the winner of the €20,000 prize is chosen.

All information about the application can be found here at a glance.
