In the framework of the European Robotics Week the Politecnico di Milano opens the Robotics Labs to the public.

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 has been one of the main lines of research at the Politecnico since 1973,  carried out by the Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria (DEIB), and by the Dipartimento di Meccanica (DMEC).

Research groups focused on artificial intelligence, autonomous robotics, industrial robotics and medical robotics work at DEIB. In 2019, at the Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria – DEIB, all these multidisciplinary skills were brought together in a single new large laboratory: POLIMI Leonardo Robotics Labs.

The Dipartimento di Meccanica carries out research in the field of the design of innovative robots, their control and the interaction of human operators with robots.

On November 23rd, 2019, starting at 2:00 pm at Politecnico di Milano - Building 7, the DEIB POLIMI Leonardo Robotics Labs will welcome interested visitors, with a tour that will illustrate the projects our researchers are actively working on. For the Dipartimento di Meccanica (DMEC), the M & SSlab: Mechatronics and Smart Structures Laboratory, by using a cobot (collaborative-robot), will show the experimentation of new forms of interaction between humans and robots in order not only to make easier complex activities, but also to make collaboration more engaging and immediate.

Participation is free after registration at link¨https://www.eventi.polimi.it/events/roboticspolimi-2019/
