A STORY ON TOUCH IN ROBOTICS: A short visit to the robotics research in IzTech
The seminar will focus on technologies developed for physical human–robot interaction and their applications in industrial and medical contexts, including robotic surgery systems, surgical simulators, and industrial winch systems. The talk is connected to the EU-funded TWIN-IT-ROMANS project, in which Politecnico di Torino is a partner.
Abstract
This presentation covers the technologies developed for physical human-robot interaction in IzTech and their implementation in various industries and applications. These implementations range from robotic surgery systems to surgery simulators and to industrial winch systems.
