Ross Video’s Artimo Wins Prestigious Red Dot Award for Product Design 

Ottawa, Canada — Tuesday, September 2, 2025 — Ross Video is thrilled to announce that Artimo, its revolutionary free-roaming robotic studio camera system, has been awarded a 2025 Red Dot Award for Product Design, one of the highest international honors in industrial design. 

The Red Dot Award: Product Design has been recognizing excellence in design since 1955. It is regarded as the gold standard of product design awards, evaluated by an independent jury of 43 international experts. Winners are celebrated for demonstrating outstanding quality of function, seduction, use, and responsibility. Artimo, honored in the Industrial Design and Robotics category, was selected from thousands of entries submitted by companies from over 60 countries. 

“Winning a Red Dot Award is the ultimate recognition in industrial design, and we are proud to see Artimo recognized on a global stage,” said Karen Walker, Vice-President – Camera Motion Systems, Ross Video. “This achievement validates our commitment to pushing boundaries in broadcast technology while delivering outstanding aesthetic and functional design.” 

Designed to meet the evolving needs of modern broadcast and augmented reality production, Artimo redefines what a studio robot can be. Thanks to its advanced suspension system, Artimo ensures smooth movement across virtually any studio floor without requiring a perfectly flat surface, supporting a wide range of flooring choices. With a sleek, customizable exterior, a two-stage lift for a wide range of camera angles, and cutting-edge features like 360-degree on-air indicators, LIDAR positioning, and touchscreen controls, Artimo integrates seamlessly into any set—enhancing both form and function. 

Nick Simpson, Senior Industrial Designer at Ross Video and lead designer for Artimo, shared, “Our goal was to change how people view studio robotics. Instead of hiding them, we wanted Artimo to complement and elevate the studio environment. Winning Red Dot affirms that we achieved a world-class design that can stand proudly alongside the best in the industry.” 

In addition to the Red Dot Award, Artimo has captured other major industry accolades. In 2024, it was honored with a Best in Market Award from TVTech for outstanding innovation in media and entertainment technology. Artimo also won the Best Innovation Award at the prestigious 2024 Best Ottawa Business (BoB) Awards, further cementing its reputation as a groundbreaking achievement in broadcast robotics and design.
