Three students of automation and robotics at the Poznan University of Technology won the main prize of the Robot Show competition 2018 for a four-legged, crawling and jumping robot. The device will be able to replace people during the inspection of waterworks and underground channels in the future.

The invention is to help the company having a problem with monitoring the condition of waterworks, because the previous robots did not meet this task satisfactorily. Jakub Bartoszek, Łukasz Antczak and Jakub Matyszczak worked on the prototype for almost a year.

The victory in the competition brought PLN 10,000. – I can assure that we will use this award well and in a year our robot will perform even better – says Jakub Matyszczak in an interview quoted on the university website.
The Robot Show took place as part of the 11th Investment Forum in Tarnów.
