Delta, a specialist in power management and smart green solutions, has received the BIG SEE Product Design Award 2026 for the Delta D-Bot series of collaborative robots
The BIG SEE Awards recognise outstanding creative achievements in architecture, product design, and industrial design. Originally established to promote Southeast Europe (SEE), the award is now a global platform that celebrates innovation and sustainability.
Michael Mayer-Rosa, senior director of the Industrial Automation Business Group and head of Intelligent Robot Systems (IRS) at Delta Electronics, EMEA Region, said, “Innovation is a core component of Delta’s corporate strategy. We consistently invest more than 8% of our annual revenue in research and development. Design is a key aspect of this innovation strategy. This award validates our team’s high standards in combining industrial robotics with a practical, safe, and efficient design. We are confident that the Delta D-Bot Robots, featuring industry-leading safety, efficiency, and practicality, will meet the demanding needs of our customers across a wide spectrum of applications.”
Delta first revealed the collaborative robots series to the public in 2024. The series includes six models, each featuring six axes, payloads of up to 30kg, and reach capabilities of up to 1,800mm. The Delta D-Bot series is also compatible with OPC UA, PROFINET, EtherCAT, and Modbus TCP, enabling integration into existing industrial automation environments.
Collaborative robots are designed to interact with humans in production environments. The “Reflex Safety” technology detects contact in real time and immediately stops robot movement to help prevent accidents and protect personnel and equipment. The integration of advanced sensing technologies and collision detection capabilities maximises safety.
The Delta D-Bot series also complies with IP66 protection standards and supports advanced safety protocols for operation in demanding industrial environments. Its design helps reduce susceptibility to dust and contamination while simplifying cleaning and maintenance.
Combined with Delta’s mobile robot platform, the Mobile Autonomous Robot (MAR), the Delta D-Bot Collaborative Robot forms the hybrid mobile robotics solution “Delta Dynamic Duo”, a 2-in-2 system that automates flexible transportation and manipulation tasks, such as palletising and pick-and-place operations, in manufacturing and logistics settings.
The Delta D-Bot series was designed for rapid deployment across a range of industrial environments and to support diverse applications, including complex component assembly, material handling, and heavy-duty palletising. The collaborative robots combine high precision and efficient automation, enabling manufacturers to enhance productivity and operational flexibility.
