==History==

* 2004: The first prototype is developed at the [http://www.microRoboticLab.ti.bfh.ch microRobotics Lab] of the [http://www.hti.bfh.ch Bern University of Applied Sciences in Biel (CH)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050831155709/http://www.hti.bfh.ch/ |date=2005-08-31 }} as a part of a new project on "[[Microfactory]]"'s topic launched by the [http://www.csem.ch CSEM SA (CH)] in collaboration with the [[EPFL]] (CH)

* 2005: [http://www.csem.ch CSEM SA] develops a new version of the robot and introduces it as the [http://www.csem.ch/corporate/Report2005/robotics-2005.htm "world’sworld's smallest Delta robot"]

* March 2007: [http://www.csem.ch/fs/awards.htm CSEM's «Smallest Format Factory» and PocketDelta robot] win the [http://www.swisstechnology-award.ch Swiss Technology Award] and are nominated for the [http://www.hannovermesse.de/45020 Hermes Award]

* 2007: The company [http://www.asyril.chcom Asyril SA] was founded as a spin-off company from CSEM. The company developed the current version of the PocketDelta robot together with its sister company [http://www.cpautomation.ch CPAutomation SA] and has been commercializing the robot as a tool for highly precise micro-mechanical manipulation as well as flexible part feeding systems.
