Solid and precious allies. But also collaborative, resolutive and versatile tools. The robots, in all their declinations, will be bombarded in the city from 7 to 13 September and through seminars, interactive workshops and conferences, they will be able to demonstrate their enormous potential. For the benefit of man and, more generally, of the community. Robotics, therefore, in the service of the human being: to let him free from the most tiring and weary tasks, to improve his quality of life and to remove inequalities in the presence of disabilities. This and more will invest in a 'seven days' dynamic, our city, which will be the protagonist of the first international robotics festival. It is you who boasts one of the highest concentrations in the world of scholars and research, development and application of robotic systems.

 

"Do not be afraid of robots" is the mantra that will guide the festival, promoted by the Municipality, the Arpa Foundation, the Institute of BioRobotica of the Upper School Sant'Anna and the Research Center "E.Piaggio", which is not only addressed to industry experts but also for adults and children who can touch the precision and robustness of robotics in a variety of fields. From the human body to artistic expressions through technological fields (Devitalia Telecompartners), industrial, computer and sports. Twelve locations, selected amongst the most impressive of the historic center, starting with the Arsenals Republic and Leopolda Station, will host conferences, demonstrations, exhibitions and educational workshops for students (already sold out in the educational workshops) that will receive a complete overview on research, production and applications of robotics that, by his mission, tends to reach out to man. Our city will thus open to the world dictating the guidelines of a discipline that, to date, is the world's reference point of the industry. Speech by Professor Franco Mosca, President of the Arpa Foundation, Professor Paolo Dario, Director of the Institute of Biorobotics of Sant'Anna and Director of the Piaggio Center of the University of Pisa, Arti Ahluwalia. "It will be an opportunity to get to know the many protagonists of Pisan excellence - concludes Mayor Marco Filippeschi - and to see how the fruit of their research contributes to making Pisa a state-of-the-art pole."
