How to enter
Those interested in entering the Robotics & Automation Awards can do so by visiting the awards entrance page on the official event website. A detailed list of entry criteria and categories can be found on the categories page.
The entry criteria for the Robotics & Automation Awards varies slightly depending on the category, though most categories can only be entered by OEMs, suppliers, system integrators and other solution or service providers on the condition they apply with an end-user partner. End-user partners are customers or buyers of solutions with which a supplier has worked in the past two years.
Those entering must demonstrate how their implementation of a robotic or automated system has led to measurable organisational, sector or wider societal benefits. There are four categories to which applications can be made without an end-user partner: R&D Innovation, Best New or Small Company, Rising Star and Inspiring the Next Generation.
Nominations for the first-ever Robotics & Automation Awards are now officially open. The ceremony itself will be held this autumn and the shortlisted finalists will gather for a drinks reception, three-course dinner and entertainment – followed by a dazzling ceremony where trophies will be handed out to the winners.
Commenting on the second annual Robotics & Automation Awards, Ursula O’Sullivan-Dale, editor of Robotics & Automation Magazine, said: “I’m excited to see this event, which saw an astonishing amount of industry engagement in its launch year, continue to grow in its second year.
“Though the Robotics & Automation Awards already has strong foundations through its affiliation with the industry-leading Robotics and Automation exhibition and Robotics & Automation Magazine, it has clearly established itself as a major event in its own right after just one year.
“We have introduced some all-new categories as well, and hope to see hundreds more leaders and innovators from the industry there on the night!”
