In the framework of the European Robotics Week the Politecnico di Milano opens the robotics labs to the public: press, researchers, students, industry and families.

The European Robotics Week offers every year one week of various robotics related activities across Europe for the general public, highlighting the growing importance of robotics in a wide variety of application areas. The Week also aims at inspiring technology education in students of all ages to pursue careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) related fields.

Robotics is one of the main lines of research at the Politecnico since 1973. The multi-disciplinary activities in the field of robotics is mainly carried out by the Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria (DEIB), by the Dipartimento di Meccanica and by the Dipartimento di Design, through the work of a few specialized laboratories.
