Roberta Nelson Shea, Global Technical Compliance Officer at Universal Robots, a Denmark cobot manufacturer, has been awarded the Joseph F. Engelberger Robotics Award. This award is the highest honor in the field of robotics in the world, and is known as the "Nobel Prize in the robotics industry".

This is the second time in the past five years that Universal Robots' core employees have received this prestigious global award. In 2018, Universal Robots co-founder Esben Østergaard won the "Engelberg Robotics Award" in the "Technology" category, and this time Roberta won the award in the "Application" category, and recently completed the award ceremony at the Detroit Automation Show in United States.

The "ENGELBERG Robotics Award" awards in the application category recognize individuals or organizations that have made a significant contribution to the advancement of robotics and its practical applications. Roberta received the award for his outstanding contribution to the safe operation of robots around the world.

Roberta said: "I am very honored to receive this award. I don't think it's just a recognition of my own work. Universal Robots and Teradyne have a strong commitment to safety, and I think this award recognizes the many people who have contributed to improving the safety of robots over the years. More than 40 years ago, when I first started in this field, I felt like it was my personal mission and no one was walking with me. However, over the years, especially with the advent of cobot applications, the importance of safety is now unanimous. ”

In recent years, other women have also won the "Engelberg Robotics Award", which once again highlights the development of the industry since Roberta first entered the field of robotics in 1982.

Roberta added: "I'm not the first woman to win this award, and that's lucky. However, the number of women working in robotics is still much lower than that of men, so I hope that my career journey will inspire young women who will play an important role in the future development of robotics and technology in general. ”

Kim Povlsen, President of Universal Robots, also congratulated Roberta on the award. Kim Povlsen said: "This award recognizes Roberta's tremendous contribution to the robotics industry. In the field of robotics, especially in the field of cobots, safety is always a top priority. Roberta is committed to driving the development of robot safety and has helped set the standard for human-machine interaction. Today, we can see humans and robots working side by side in countless workplaces, and Roberta is responsible for that. ”
