New Robotics laboratories for Politecnico di Milano
Opening of new space in the Carlo Erba building, will allow synergies for multidisciplinary robotic research.
Theold Leonardo Campus “Carlo Erba” building is now Politecnico di Milano’s new cradle of Robotics.
On 18 February the large space was opened which allows the synergies necessary to tackle multidisciplinary robotics research thanks to its physical proximity to our cutting-edge laboratories.
This is an extraordinary Italian opportunity, and much needed by the university’s Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering to help face the challenges that advanced robotics poses to the research world.
500 sq.m host the four existing laboratories, each with a different purpose, but from today working closely: mOve Lab and three other historic Labs, grouped under the new name of Leonardo Robotics Labs: Airlab, Merlin and Nearlab. Let’s find out the different laboratories’ research areas.
mOve
The mOve (Automation and Control for Intelligent Vehicles and Smart Mobility) laboratory carries out research, innovation and technology transfer in the automotive control, intelligent vehicles and smart mobility sectors.
Leonardo Robotics Labs
AIRLab is the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Laboratory founded in 1973, to support research, technology transfer and teaching in the artificial intelligence, machine learning, and machine and autonomous robotics perception sectors. Today it is active in mobile robotics, agricultural robotics, person-robot interaction, robots for entertainment and for the elderly and frail.
MERLIN – MEchatronics and Robotics Laboratory for INnovation –supports research, innovation and technology transfer in the mechatronics, industrial robotics and motion control sectors, focusing on collaborative robotics.
The NearLab - NeuroEngineering And medical Robotics Lab - studies solutions and methods, based on robotics and artificial intelligence applications, for therapy, rehabilitation and care of patients suffering from acquired or congenital neuromotor disorders and the elderly and frail.
