On the occasion of the 50th international conference of the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA), KUKA will receive the International Design Excellence Award (IDEA) for the design of the KR AGILUS small robot series.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Dynamic and masterful mover<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cMatching the technology, the design of industrial robots too has become sleeker and more \u2018athletic\u2019. The form of the robot should reflect these characteristics,\u201d says industrial designer Mario Selic, who has worked on the design of industrial robots with KUKA for many years. In concrete terms, this means that the great technical advantages of the KR AGILUS \u2013 its high speed, top precision and maximum flexibility \u2013 are also expressed through its design. This design expresses dynamism while also emphasizing the robot\u2019s nimbleness and fast motion sequences. At the same time, the design saves materials and avoids any impairment of the machine\u2019s agility. The robot is thus a perfect symbiosis of form and function.<br \/>\n\u201cThe International Design Excellence Award is great recognition and confirmation of our work,\u201d says Selic. Numerous KUKA products have already won various design prizes over the past few years. With the IDEA, the KR AGILUS has hauled in yet another important design prize to add to the other awards for KUKA robots. The IDEA will be presented this year for the 35th time at the annual IDSA conference in Seattle, USA. During the competition, a jury of 24 renowned designers judged industrial products from 21 sectors \u2013 from \u201cCommercial and Industrial\u201d to \u201cHome and Bath\u201d.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First and foremost, industrial robots must function in a manner that is precise, fast and error-free.
