Start-up wows BEEAs
ROBOTICS STARTUP
AUTOMATA has been awarded
the Grand Prix at the 2019 British
Engineering Excellence Awards
(BEEAs), held at The Landmark,
London on 11 October.
Founded in 2014 by architects
Mostafa ElSayed and Suryansh
Chandra, Automata was born out
of the need to nd a cost-e ective
approach to industrial automation
when the only options available
were prohibitively expensive
industrial robots, or basic robot
arms that are little more than toys.
The company’s Eva robot
is a ordable and easy-to-use,
while also being t-for-purpose
in an industrial context. Having
launched commercially in March
2019, the company has surpassed
150+ orders, with many successful
deployments for customers who
are now making repeat multi-unit
orders.
This was the 10th anniversary
of the BEEAs, in honour of which,
a Design Engineer of the Decade
category was awarded. This saw
every previous winner of Design
Engineer of the Year pitted against
one another to decide on ‘the best
of the best’. The winner of this
prestigious prize was Sebastien
Cuvelier Mussalian, who won in
2013 for his work as lead engineer
on the OrganOx perfusion system,
which keeps donor human livers
‘alive’ before being transplanted.
Since then, Sebastien has
gone on to build an international
reputation for the design,
development and industrialisation
of innovative, robust medical
devices. The judges were keen
to recognise his contribution
to the industry; his ability to
handle complex, multidisciplinary
projects; and the truly global
impact of his work.

category winners, turn to page 38.
TECH BRIEF
MATLAB AND SIMULINK 2019b
MathWorks has introduced
Release 2019b with a range of
new capabilities in MATLAB
and Simulink, including
support for AI, deep learning
and the automotive industry.
In addition, it introduces
products supporting
robotics, new training
resources for event-based
modelling, and updates and
bug xes across MATLAB and
Simulink.
Among the MATLAB
highlights in R2019b is the
introduction of Live Editor
Tasks, which enables users
to interactively explore
parameters, pre-process
data, and generate MATLAB
code that becomes part
of the live script. Now,
MATLAB users can focus
on the task instead of the
syntax or complex code, and
automatically run generated
code to iterate on parameters
through visualisation.
R2019b highlights in
Simulink include the new
Simulink Toolstrip, which
helps users access and
discover capabilities. Here,
tabs are arranged according
to work ow and sorted by
frequency of use, saving
navigation and search time.
