Advanced education, frontier research and innovation: this is The BioRobotics Institute of Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies, founded in 2011. With time the Institute has built a wealth of knowledge and expertise in several fields of biorobotics and bionics, such as medical robotics, wearable technologies, collaborative robotics, bioinspired robotics, neuroscience robotics, rehabilitation robotics and implantable technologies.
The Institute promotes the internationalization of didactics and scientific research through collaboration with the most prestigious international knowledge centers. The Institute aims to educate engineers that are scientists, inventors, entrepreneurs and problem solvers.
Training
MSc in Bionics Engineering
The MSc is jointly offered by the Department of Information Engineering of UNIPI and by The BioRobotics Institute of SSSA
Phd in Biorobotics
With more than 100 students enrolled (with an average of 30 or more students per year), the PhD in BioRobotics is among the largest doctoral schools in robotics and biomedical engineering in the world
