Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering - Politecnico di Milano
Leonardo Robotics Lab (Building 7)
Abstract
On the occasion of the European Robotics Week, Politecnico di Milano will open its robotics laboratories to the public. Held annually across Europe, the initiative aims to raise awareness of the importance of Robotics in a wide range of fields and to promote interest in STEM disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — especially among younger generations.
Politecnico di Milano has been at the forefront of robotics research since 1973, with projects developed across several departments, including the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering. Since 2020, the Department’s robotics expertise has been brought together in the Leonardo Robotics Labs, a major space dedicated to multidisciplinary research.
On Saturday, November 28, 2026, from 2:00 p.m., the Leonardo Robotics Labs, located in Building 7 of Politecnico di Milano, will open their doors to the public for a journey through the projects currently underway in its various laboratories.
At AIRLab, visitors will discover different types of robotic systems for a range of applications, including mobile manipulation for fruit picking, environmental exploration and mapping, human-robot interaction, and enhanced mobility through quadrupedal locomotion. The lab will also feature demonstrations of AI systems for image analysis and understanding, foundation models for text interpretation and image segmentation, and examples of image generation.
At NearLab, the NES research group will present robotic systems for assistance and rehabilitation that integrate rigid and soft exoskeletons with multichannel functional electrical stimulation, as well as social robotics solutions designed to foster communication and interaction among children with autism spectrum disorder. The MRS research group will showcase applications in surgical robotics, human-robot collaboration, and advanced vision and control systems supporting surgeons.
At MeRLIn, visitors will explore applications in collaborative robotics, robot teleoperation, the robotic manipulation of deformable objects, and the use of vision and artificial intelligence to support robot task programming.
Admission is free upon registration. Participants may register for one time slot only. Each visit will last one hour.
