Second place went to Tomáš Janoušek (FSI BUT) with his design of a small low-cost robot based on the industrial concept SCARA. This type of robots is used, for example, in the food or pharmaceutical industry.

The third Andrej Ilič (FaVU BUT) presented an innovative product design of a prototype of a hanging luminaire ready for mass production. The luminaire impresses with its unusual visual effect. The design of the luminaire is conceived as a modular system, which allows working with multiple pieces of the luminaire as a kit.
