The meeting will be the first of two initiatives dedicated to robotics, namely the study, construction and application of robotics, whose areas of use are increasingly expanding beyond mere industrial reality as tools to support human work.

On this occasion, the results of important European robotics projects applied to the precision cultivation of perennial crops, such as canopies, where ground robots work alongside humans to perform agricultural interventions, will also be presented.

After the corporate greeting, Gianluca Antonelli, Professor of Automation and Rector’s Delegate for Competitive Enterprises, and Alessandro Marino, Associate Professor of Automation at the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio will speak.

Paolo Di Lillo, Researcher at Automatica will lead two hands-on activities that will allow attendees to interact with a robot from the Industrial Automation Laboratory.

In the first, the robot will be controlled in such a way as to allow safe physical interaction with the operator, and in the second it will be possible to control the robot using a haptic interface device, which is able to send accurate tactile feedback.

On the other hand, the second initiative dedicated to robotics, will take place on Friday 15 July 2022 in the conference hall of Angevin Castle in Gaeta, from 10 to 13, during the second part of the Le UNIcittà 2022 cycle, as part of UNISUMMER.
