To achieve a seamless human-robot collaboration it is crucial that robots express their intentions without perturbating or interrupting the task that the human partner is performing at that moment. A study is coordinated by The BioRobotics Institute of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, in collaboration with the University of Ferrara. Reducing the interference with human action, especially in the industrial field, "the robots could be of great help during the execution of heavy and repetitive tasks"

3DNextech Srl, an innovative startup based in Livorno and a spin-off company of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, closes a 750-thousand-euro investment by the Fondo Rilancio Startup managed by CDP Venture Capital Sgr, in co-matching with the investment round Seed of 2020, when A11 Venture played the role of principal Investor, to develop innovative machines that can change the world of additive manufacturing. The first product of 3DNextech, based in Livorno, the “3DFinisher” is ready for sale and is already used by a selected group of industrial partners

The collaboration between STMicroelectronics and the Sant’Anna School (Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, Pisa) gathers new impetus, thanks to the signing of a fresh broad-spectrum framework agreement. This foresees multiple shared activities and projects in various engineering areas, including traditional and collaborative robotics, using extremely high efficiency implementation technologies and advanced sensors critical for IoT applications, as well as a collaboration on optical MEMS sensors and actuators
