What robot will be essential in the house of the future?

Gather a skilled and motivated team to imagine the future of domestic robots!

Create your robot!

Earn €1.000 to develop your project

The teams selected for the second stage of the challenge will have to materialize their robot idea.

A budget of €1,000 will then be allocated to these teams to materialize and produce a functional prototype of their project for the final marketplace.

Groupe SEB experts and mentors will assist the selected teams in materializing their ideas.

The finalists will then have to present their prototype at the Marketplace of the final! Do your best!
Your project must answer the following questions:

Does it provide a solution to an identified problem? Is this a brand new innovation? Is it a product improvement or does it bring about a brand new use? Does it replace or supplement other equipment?

What is the value proposition? What does your project bring to its user? How can you justify the interest of a group of customers? Who are these people and what would be their motivations for buying this project? What promise does your project make?

What are the costs you are considering? What would be the benefits? How do you plan to sell this product?

To keep in mind


Focus your thoughts on the consumers, their expectations and uses.
Your project must be relevant, achievable and accessible.
A functional materialization will be highly valued!
