On Monday 27 October, the new ROBO-STOX fund started trading on the London Stock Exchange. The LBR iiwa was at the heart of the action, counting down the final seconds to the start of trading.
ROBO-STOX is a listed, exchange traded fund for the European market that invests in a wide range of companies from the robotics and automation industry, such as KUKA.
This provides investors with the opportunity to invest in a whole branch of industry and thus profit from the fast-growing robotics and automation market.
No robotics-related event would be complete without the LBR iiwa. The first robot ever to make an appearance at the London Stock Exchange, it played a leading role at the opening ceremony, counting down the seconds to the start of trading.
