The BETT Awards is an annual program in the UK designed to highlight exemplary consumer electronics / digital products intended for the education marketplace. The program is the result of an ongoing partnership between selver British governmental agencies and Emap Education, the organisers of BETT - the largest educational technology show in the world.

The BETT Awards define exemplary products as those which are fit for imitation, or a model. The criteria for the BETT Awards 2008 are invested with the same identifying characteristics of high quality as set out in Becta’s Quality principles for digital learning resources. In 2008, Robosapien V2 has been named as one of these "exemplary" products.

The awards also recognize outstanding education sector products and learning solutions. Judges review the entries based on these criteria, including design, cost-effectiveness, support of higher order skills and effective learning and teaching styles. For the technical evaluation, judges focus on the robustness and resilience of each product, and its accessibility for those with specific needs. RSV2 was named for the award in the "primary and secondary hardware" category.
