Artificial and Mechanical Intelligence

We combine Artificial Intelligence with Mechanics to design and control
optimal humanoid robots interacting with human beings

Robotics Research

Research

We research on giving humanoid robots the ability to help and collaborate with humans in dangerous and industrial environments.

We focus on three main research fields:

3 research branches

AERIAL HUMANOID ROBOTICS
We give humanoid robots the ability to fly to help humans in disaster responses and heavy payload delivery.

PHYSICAL HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION
Technology for robots and Industry 4.0 together with human health monitoring: we give humanoid robots the ability to help and collaborate with humans.

AVATAR SYSTEMS
We give humans the ability to exist in another place via humanoid robots, for remote maintenance or emergency response.

Technology Transfer

We project research outcomes onto real application scenarios through joint labs and spin-offs.

joint lab - Card

Joint lab with Honda Research Institute to develop advanced control, perception and planning algorithms for humanoid-robot collaboration scenarios.

Joint lab with Danieli Automation to use advanced control, perception and planning algorithms, developed for the humanoid robot iCub, in metal processing environments.

Joint lab with Camozzi Automation spa to use advanced control, perception and planning algorithms, developed for the humanoid robot iCub, in pneumatic environments.

Joint project with INAIL to devise future wearable technologies and humanoid robots to maximise work ergonomy and technological acceptability of future industry and healthcare environments.

Spin-off idea to provide an integrated platform enabling real-time human health monitoring of motion tracking, articular stress monitoring, and fatigue analysis.
