American RoboTIc Industries AssociaTIon has announced that the winner of the 2018 Engelberger RoboTIcs Award (2018) will be crowned by the founder and chief technology officer Esben Østergaard of the startup Universal Robots (UR). In the past few decades, he has led the development of UR's continuous and collaborative robotics technology, driving the breakthrough development of the overall automation industry.
It is worth mentioning that Esben Østergaard will be able to share the industry and technology trends of collaborative robots during the Taiwan Robotics and Intelligent Automation Exhibition (TAIROS) at the end of August.
The Engelberg Robot Award, known as the "Nobel Prize in Robotics", was established by Joseph F. Engelberger, who is known as the "father of robots" in the United States. He is the first industry in the world. Founder of robot manufacturer UnimaTIon.
Since 1977, the Engelberg Robotics Awards have selected the top talents in the robotics industry for technology development, application promotion, education and leadership, and are regarded as the highest personal achievements in the robotics industry. This year's award ceremony and dinner will be held on June 20th at the Royal Beer House in Munich, Germany.
Jeff Burnstein, president of the American Robot Industry Association, said that Esben Østergaard has a vision and a new chapter in the field of robotics. Because of his long-term efforts, robots can be applied to all walks of life at an unprecedented speed, and even small and medium-sized enterprises that have never imported automation can install collaborative robots through simple and clear settings.
Founded in 2005, Universal Robots, the founder of Esben Østergaard, hopes to develop small, easy-to-use, affordable, flexible and safe industrial robots that everyone can acquire and use. .
Universal Robots launched the world's first collaborative robot in 2008. This robot can work safely with human employees, but in the market that has not yet adapted to human and machine cooperation, it faces the challenge of low adoption.
The UR R&D team then designed the first tablet interface that is easy to operate and can easily perform precise 3D robot programming, making the UR-competitive robot not only highly secure and lightweight, but also allows companies to easily get started and flexibly tailored to their needs. set up.
At present, UR's collaborative robot sales have spread all over the world. In 2017, its revenue reached US$170 million, which not only covered nearly 60% of the global collaborative robot sales, but also increased its revenue by 72%. UR is currently affiliated with Teradyne and is headquartered in Odens, Denmark. Its subsidiaries and regional locations are located in the US, Germany, France, West, Italy, Czech Republic, Turkey, China, India, Singapore, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. Mexico.
Esben Østergaard holds a Ph.D. in robotics. From 2001 to 2005, he was an assistant professor of robotics and user interface courses at the University of Southern Denmark, laying the foundation for the transformation of industrial robots. In 2005, he founded Universal Robots with two colleagues who were engaged in research, and then obtained about 65 patents on robotics.
Esben is also involved in national science research projects and is an external examiner at several universities in Denmark. Esben was a research scientist at the University of Southern California Robotics Laboratory and a visiting scholar at the Japan Institute of Industrial Technology. He studied robotics during his studies in information science, physics and multimedia at Aarhus University in Denmark and won the world championship in robot soccer in 1998.
