San Jose, February 12th, Flexiv was a winner of this year's iF DESIGN AWARD, the world-renowned design prize. The winning product, Flexiv RIZON, won in the discipline PRODUCT, in the INDUSTRY category. Each year, the world's oldest independent design organization, Hannover-based iF International Forum Design GmbH, organizes the iF DESIGN AWARD.
Flexiv RIZON won over the 78-member jury, made up of independent experts from all over the world, with its unique adaptivity, simple but aesthetical industrial design, brand-new product value. The competition was intense: 7,298 entries were submitted from 56 countries in hopes of receiving the seal of quality.
RIZON is the world's first adaptive robot that fuses high-performance force control, computer vision and AI technology. It can adapt to changing and uncertain environments and automate complex tasks with 'hand-eye coordination' like human. Compared with traditional industrial robots and collaborative robots, Rizon has three distinguishing characteristics including high tolerance for position variance, great disturbance rejection and transferable intelligence. Rizon brings the following value to the industry: simple but aesthetical design, better hand-eye coordination, more flexibility to production and more possibilities generated by AI. The winning of iF Design Award 2020 shows iF jury's recognition of Rizon's practical value and design philosophy.
