Robotica e ricerca Iit-Inail, premio alla progettazione per la riduzione del rischio sul lavoro La Ieee Robotics and Automation Society, la principale associazione degli ingegneri robotici mondiali, ha premiato il ricercatore italiano Daniele Pucci e il team dell’Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia per le ricerche portate avanti sul controllo dei movimenti dei robot umanoidi programmati per interagire con gli esseri umani e contribuire alla riduzione del rischio di infortuni sul lavoro. Il premio è stato assegnato nel corso dei lavori della conferenza Ieee 2024, in Francia, a Nancy. La ricerca ha sviluppato modelli matematici, software, tecnologie e intelligenza artificiale impiegati per permettere l’interazione fra uomo e robot durante l’attività lavorativa. Tramite la decodificazione e il monitoraggio dei movimenti del corpo umano, il sistema consente l’intervento integrativo del robot in caso di sforzi fisici particolari. Il sistema #ergoCub, che comprende il robot ergoCub e i sensori IFeel, è stato sviluppato in collaborazione con il Dipartimento di medicina, epidemiologia, igiene del lavoro e ambientale dell’#Inail. Il progetto, avviato nel 2021, ha visto i ricercatori dei due Istituti concentrarsi sulla realizzazione di umanoidi e tecnologie indossabili, capaci di fornire avvisi in tempo reale per evitare il verificarsi di infortuni e tecnopatie in contesti industriali e sanitari.

The first edition of #InnovationMatters has come to an end. At Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, we do cool stuff. From #humanoids capable of interacting with autistic patients to #technologies aimed at treating diseases such as Glioblastoma; from unimaginable photovoltaic cells to components serving #quantumcomputers, boosting #AI, and enabling all the good it can bring to humanity. In 4 days of training, we discussed how to acquire an innovator mindset to leverage from the very early stages of technology development. Thanks to everyone who made this possible: Claudia, who supported the initiative; Nicola and Veronica from the Higher Education Office with a impeccable organization; Giuliano, Luca, and Valentina for what concern the communication of the initiative; Lorenzo for the software-related IP part; and the always-reliable ICT Team. Great teamwork. Great results.  Thanks, mates! 🤜

An exciting week of #euROBINWeek2024 comes to an end with one of the most anticipated moments: the result of the world's first ever Coopetition Challenge. 🦾 The 1st euROBIN Coopetition is part of euROBIN mission to foster not only #innovation, but also #cooperativecompetition, bringing teams together to solve pressing robotics #challenges. And so it has been. During these days we have seen #humanoid robots, #quadrupeds, #drones...and above all, teams with great professionals in #robotics and #AI. 🤖 Researchers, universities, industries and even school classes have been able to enjoy #Humanoids2024 and then #euROBINWeek2024 at the Prouvé Congress Centre in Nancy. We would like to congratulate the winners of the coopetition challenge in the 3 categories they competed in: 🏆 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆. - Team HCR, Jozef Stefan Institute, Slovenia - For their pioneering work in compliant handling. 🏆𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗲 - Alter-Ego, Università di Pisa, Italy - Awarded for its advances in hybrid teleoperation without direct visibility and autonomy. 🏆𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 - Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Italy - Recognised for successfully deploying robotic technology in indoor environments to autonomously pick up and deliver packages while navigating obstacle-filled paths.   Thank you to these teams for exemplifying the spirit of coopetition that we wanted to highlight with the euROBIN project, showing how collaboration and competition can drive Europe's leadership in both robotics and AI. 🚀   Thank you all for being part of the euROBIN these days. To every single person who has helped to make this event possible. To each team, for their perseverance, effort and desire.   And of course, thanks to every robot that has competed to be part of the eurobin family! 🤖 Anibal Ollero Nikos Tsagarakis Michael Beetz Alin Albu-Schaeffer Cecile Huet Rebecca Schedl-Warpup Serena Ivaldi Tamim Asfour Cem Gulec Antonio Enrique Puente Rodero German Aerospace Center (DLR) Inria Università di Pisa CEA-List ETH Zürich DTU - Technical University of Denmark Fraunhofer IPA GRVC University of Seville Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia Sorbonne Université Jozef Stefan Institute Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) High Performance Humanoid Technologies (H2T), Institute for Anthropomatics and Robotics (IAR) Institute for Systems and Robotics (ISR-Lisboa) Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) at the Technical University of Munich University of Bremen CREATE-DIH Czech Technical University in Prague Danish Technological Institute EPFL FundingBox imec KTH Royal Institute of Technology PAL Robotics TECNALIA Research & Innovation

😀 Happy and honored to share that Barbara Mazzolai and I have received last week the Ethics in Society and Work award 'Etica nel Sociale e nel Lavoro' 🏆 by Associazione Culturale Plana during their 50th anniversary in Milan. The award recognizes our work on plant-hybrid systems capable of creating energy from plant leaf motion in wind - and bridges the natural and the human world. The inspiring motivation for the award translates as: "Not just a technological solution, but above all, a #cultural and #ethical message of great significance: placing #life at the center and emphasizing the relationship/connection among all living beings, as in The Canticle of the Creatures by Saint Francis. It highlights an interdependence that becomes a fruitful alliance to improve the quality of life for the planet and all its inhabitants. This research journey begins with the potential of nature and leads to the potential for living beings and future generations: the ethical way of building the #future." Thank you so much Associazione Culturale Plana! #Sustainability #Innovation #Ethics #Science #Future Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna

🌟 Yesterday at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, we concluded an inspiring and thought-provoking workshop on *The Influence of Biases in Decision-Making* held as part of the NEXUS project. Together, we explored the impact of #bias from different perspectives, highlighting practical ways to foster #excellence and #inclusion in research organisations. 🙏 A heartfelt thank you to Raffaella Tonini and Eva Campi, whose sessions on the neurocognitive foundations of bias and practical strategies for managing it were enlightening. Your contributions added incredible depth to the conversation. We were thrilled to have representatives from University of #NIC, partner in this project, and from the EU-funded project #TERAIS, who enriched our audience with their perspectives and experiences.
