Robot Award 2006

The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) created the annual Robot Award to boost the Japanese robotics industry. The winner of the inaugurating year of 2006 was the cleaning robot developed by Fuji Heavy Industries (maker of the Subaru cars). The robot that cleans the floors of high-rise buildings is able to take the elevator on its own to move around multiple floors. It's contribution for opening up a new market for robots and for cutting cost for the building owners were the reasons to be chosen from 151 other robots.
