Wootzano has previously won the Digital Engineering Technology Award in 2020 for their electronic skin, Wootzkin, a highly sensitive e-skin that enables robots to feel as humans do. The judges were impressed by the increased production and scale-up of the electronic skin manufacturing process to more than 180 a day. Wootzano is hoping to win this year's award for their cutting-edge system, Avarai, which has already sparked a lot of interest in the agricultural industry due to its ability to alleviate the long-term labour struggle.
