Innovation Award 2019
In the 15th edition of Leonardo's Innovation Award three university prizes were awarded to university students who presented the best projects during a competition, the "Innovathon", which took place in Rome on the 16th and 17 November 2019.
Objective of the competition was to create a working prototype of a vehicle that can intervene in critical infrastructure emergencies, moving autonomously, recognising all humans who needed to receive aid as precisely as possible and providing them with a first-aid kit.
The four parameters of the evaluation were: performance, cost, time and quality.
The winner of the Innovathon was the team whose prototype carried the first-aid kit to the most humans along a pre-determined route.
