Berlin – September 12, 2026 -- PrimeBOT took home two IFA Innovation Awards at IFA 2026, with its T1 and Q1 robots drawing crowds at Messe Berlin and the ShowStoppers event.
PrimeBOT T1 wins in the Content Creation Technology category
The T1 model was named winner of the IFA Innovation Award for Content Creation Technology, recognized for its multi-scenario mobility and creative-use design. The Q1 model was separately selected among the IFA NEXT award winners for its focus on personalized interaction, programmability, movement, and long-term companionship.
Visitors tested the robots' reactions to touch and balance
Journalists and attendees walked alongside the Q1, tested its balance responses, and interacted with it in ways compared to engaging with a child. The T1's transformation sequence drew attention from visitors across the show floor, and its reactions to touch and head pats added to the sense of an intimate, personal experience.
PrimeBOT argues robots must integrate into daily family life
Yuan Zou, Marketing Director of PrimeBOT International Market, spoke on the IFA Dream Stage panel "Robots in the Kitchen and Home: From Task-Specific Tools to Humanoids." The panel also included Dr. Glenn Mathijssen of Circus Group, Jennifer Pattison Tuohy of The Verge, Raghav Gupta of Posha, and Michael Wolf of The Spoon.
Zou said the industry has long measured robots by how much labor they can replace, but home environments call for a different standard. He said a personal robot does not need to master every task on day one but must add value from the start -- beginning with interaction, companionship, learning, and creativity before progressing toward more concrete physical assistance as it better understands its user and household.
Live demos continue at Booth H25-150
PrimeBOT is running live demonstrations of the T1 and Q1 throughout IFA 2026 at Booth H25-150, open to media, partners, and attendees.
