Collaborative Robot design recognised.

A major milestone for Delta's D-Bot Series Collaborative Robots (Cobots) has been announced. They have been honoured with the prestigious 2025 German Design Award in the category of Excellent Product Design. This accolade, which follows their 2024 Red Dot Design Award win in Singapore earlier this year, highlights. The German Design Awards, presented by the German Design Council, are among the most prestigious honors in the design industry.

Michael Mayer-Rosa, Senior Director of the Industrial Automation Business Group at Delta Electronics EMEA Region, said, “We are highly committed to innovation, consistently investing over 8% of our revenues into R&D. The award from the German Design Council confirms our success in designing our cobots and in developing cutting-edge smart manufacturing solutions. The cobot market is one of the fastest-growing sectors in automation technology, surpassing the US$1 billion mark, and with a design boasting industry-leading safety, efficiency, and practicality, we believe the D-Bots will meet the sophisticated needs of businesses across a wide range of applications.”

Delta’s D-Bot Series Collaborative Robots were first presented to the public at last year’s Hannover Messe and were also showcased at SPS 2024 in Nuremberg.

European customers expect the highest level of safety Safety is of vital importance when it comes to the design of the Delta D-Bots, especially since the cobots are intended for interaction with personnel in production environments. The innovative "Reflex Safety" feature detects contact at lightning speed and instantly reverses movement to prevent accidents, protecting both personnel and equipment. The integration of high-end sensors and collision detection (one-finger tap) maximizes safety.

The D-Bot Series is engineered for rapid deployment, allowing setup in under two hours, making them ideal for dynamic production environments. With an impressive accuracy of ±0.02 mm and a payload range from 6 kg to 30 kg, the D-Bots are versatile and capable of handling a wide array of tasks, from assembling complex components to managing heavy palletizing. Designed and engineered in Europe, and built for the world, these collaborative robots are ready to meet the needs of businesses globally.
