We describe a unique competition based on the novel concept of robotics and mechatronics products that included evaluation of the products' engineering function and interface design. Fifteen teams from six universities joined the competition, whose subject was “Health, care and communication aids for the elderly.” Many of the plans presented ideas that balanced function and design, showing the results of collaboration among students studying engineering and students studying product design.
