Automatic

Platinum 2024

Automatic

by DENSO DESIGN for Denso Corporation

With the decrease in the global agricultural population, labor saving is needed for harvest work. To meet this need, the design team gave its automatic harvesting robot aimed for a display that workers would easily accept as the face of a robot they could work alongside. The robot's eyes meet people's eyes from any angle, which imparts a sense of security. The soft, fully-tapered surface reduces the feeling of intimidation and the kind feel of the pearl-like finish generates affinity with the arm robot. For hygiene, the top surface is free of places where dirt can accumulate.
