The recognition forms part of the 2020 - 2021 A' Design Award & Competition and was reached through blind peer review by an international grand jury panel of established academics, design professionals and press members, who evaluated anonymized entries against predetermined criteria.

About the Silver A' Design Award

The Silver A' Design Award celebrates top-tier designs that embody excellence and innovation. This award acknowledges creations that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional, reflecting the designer's deep understanding and skill. Silver A' Design Award recipients are recognized for their contribution to raising industry standards and advancing the practice of design. Their work often incorporates original innovations and elicits a strong emotional response, making a notable impact on the improvement of everyday life.

More About Robot Manipulator Remote Operation Device

Robot Manipulator is a handheld control device for operating a medical robotic arm. The body is made of carbon fiber and aluminum, a combination that increases strength and reduces weight. The device is held and moved by the hand, and many sensors inside convert hand movements into signals. The signals are sent to a processor, which controls the robotic arm along multiple dimensions and coordinates. The robotic arm returns feedback that matches the hand movement. Precise tasks can be carried out at a distance, including work in dangerous conditions.

About Wang Zhuo and Lu Na

Chen Jun, associate professor, master's supervisor, is currently the director of the Design Innovation Center of the School of Design and Art of Shenyang University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and a director of the Liaoning Mechanical Engineering Society and Industrial Design Branch. Engaged in industrial design research for 20 years, has been committed to industrial design modeling and method research for many years, equipment product industrial design, intelligent product design, reverse design research, and cooperated with many companies to complete design projects and achieved good results.

Award Record

With this recognition, Wang Zhuo and Lu Na is a winner of 4 A' Design Awards. The awards were granted in the 2020 - 2021 edition of the A' Design Award & Competition.

Design Details

Unique Properties
This product is a manipulator used to operate a Medical application robot. The overall shape is extremely sci-fi. The main body of the product is composed of carbon fiber and aluminum. Through the handheld gripping method, it simulates the real operation of human hands, and feeds back the human movement to the processor through a large number of sensors, and further performs multi-dimensionality on the robotic arm. Multi-coordinate, precise control.
Inspiration
Robots are at the forefront of medical application and give people a strong sense of the future. Therefore, the combination of carbon fiber and aluminum in the processing of the shape not only increases the strength, reduces the weight, but also enriches the visual experience. The color is mysterious and deep. Color, with green and sci-fi lighting, creating a strong sense of technology.
Research
How to transform abstract motions into concrete images and symbols can allow users to give corresponding feedback and reduce learning costs. These are the difficulties. The processing of multiple materials is also a difficulty in design.
Challenge
Material selection, structure design, processing technology
Realization and Technology
Automatic control, program editing, industrial design
Operation and Interaction
This product is a manipulator used to operate a Medical application robotic arm. The device is manipulated by human hands. The sensor in the device converts the movement of the hand into a signal, which is then transmitted to the robotic arm. The robotic arm can give corresponding feedback according to the hand movement. Completion of off-site operations, remote operations, and dangerous operations.
