The student Antonio Sánchez Miranda, graduated from the ESCET Industrial Technology Engineering Degree, won the sixth COGITIM award for the best End-of-Degree Project of the Community of Madrid for the 2021-22 academic year. The event, organized by the Official College of Graduates and Industrial Technical Engineers of Madrid (COGITIM), presented these awards on Thursday, March 16, 2023, to the best TFGs in the Industrial Technical Engineering branch of the Universities and Technical Schools of the Madrid's community.

The awarded Final Degree Project consisted of prototyping, open source programming (ROS and MoveIt) and commissioning of an autonomous mobile industrial manipulator robot (RMIMA). The implemented robot prototype is capable of searching and detecting objects using artificial vision techniques. Once the exact position of the object is determined, the prototype stands in front of it and deploys a robotic arm to pick it up and store it, all automatically. In addition, the robot has different sensors that allow it to create a map of its environment, locate itself and navigate autonomously through it avoiding fixed and mobile obstacles. This prototype has multiple practical applications in the industry, such as picking up parts or objects that go out of their usual routes on the production lines, that fall from an autonomous transport robot (AGV) or that get lost in the different jobs. company storage.
