MassRobotics introduced the winners of its third Type & Operate College Robotics Problem. Fifteen groups from across the globe showcased their robotics and automation initiatives, competing for money prizes. The concept of this problem is to create a robotic that appears good (Type) and works (Operate).
Elements and software program had been donated to the groups by our sponsors: Altium, AMD, Analog Units, Autodesk, Copley Controls, Danfoss, FESTO, Harmonic Drive, Igus, Lattice Semiconductor,Maxon, Mitsubishi Electrical, Novanta, serving to the scholar groups make the most of the newest choices within the business. A panel of judges from the robotics business chosen the Transformative Robotics Lab Northeastern College workforce with their Comfortable Robotic Arm Screwdriver that spun and safely scrubbed plates as this 12 months’s first prize winner.
As a primary in Type and Operate historical past, Second prize and Viewers selection had been each awarded to the identical workforce, College of Waterloo Gripper for First Responders. This workforce had a novel gripper and arm that might assess victims in an emergency scenario. Third prize was awarded to the returning Warmth Robotics College of British Columbia Okanagan Campus Wildfire Containment workforce with their continued improvement and enhancements to their strategy to preventing and stopping wildfires. The competitors was intense this 12 months and the Judges felt compelled to provide an honorable point out to the Kurtz Robotics Boston College Automated Develop Mattress workforce for its robotic that may decide tomatoes in a scalable price efficient method.
All the groups showcased progressive and budding options that impressed attendees. College students reported that firms had been already providing jobs and even providing to work with them on their resolution. The expertise of interacting and networking with business professionals was priceless to researchers who typically don’t get their work seen exterior of their campus or labs.
MassRobotics additionally hosted a Startup Alley that showcased 21 of our resident startups together with Algorized, Ascend Robotics, ATDev, Aura Clever Methods, Inc., Ava Robotics, Black-I Robotics, Inc., Cerulion,Cobionix Company, Entriya, Hathaway Robotics, LabyrinthAI, ModalAI, PAPER TABLE, LLC., Ras Labs, Inc., Resix, Rowbot Methods, Soterya, Inc., Pondering Robots, Inc., TP7,Ubiros Inc., and Imaginative and prescient Cycle.
MassRobotics Accelerator, powered by Mass Tech Collaborative showcased the businesses within the Accelerator cohort; every firm offered its applied sciences and enterprise fashions, highlighting the impression of the Accelerator program on the Robotics Summit: collaborating firms are Haystack Ag, LiftLabs, Mito Robotics, Nexterity, p!ng, Redefine Surgical procedure, ReviMo, Revolute Robotics, Tatum Robotics, and Variable Machines.
Healthcare Robotics Startup Catalyst program highlighted its newest cohort of startups who made their last shows, sharing their milestones and achievements made throughout this 12 months’s program.
Startups included:
OTSAW, ReviMo, Sixdof Area, Subtlebotic, TechNovator, Tenomix
Attendees had been in a position to see improvements first hand on the showroom ground – from a affected person switch system to surgical device dealing with. Learn extra about this system and startups right here.
As a strategic accomplice with WTWH Media for the 2025 Robotics Summit & Expo, MassRobotics performed a key function in offering steerage and leveraging its intensive world community to help the occasion. Over 5,000 attendees participated in classes led by business leaders akin to PSYONIC, Symbotic, Amazon Robotics, MIT CSAIL and Boston Dynamics gaining insights into the way forward for robotics improvement. The exhibit corridor almost doubled in its footprint from final 12 months, with near 200 exhibitors. “We set information for attendance and exhibitors on the 2025 Robotics Summit & Expo, attracting members from greater than 45 nations,” mentioned Steve Crowe, chair of the Robotics Summit & Expo and government editor of The Robotic Report. “This stage of progress wouldn’t have been doable with out the help of our strategic accomplice, MassRobotics. Its robust community of startups and deep business connections carry invaluable vitality, innovation, and experience to the occasion. We stay up for rising this occasion in Boston and dealing with MassRobotics for years to return.”
