The European Robotics Week offers every year one week of various robotics related activities across Europe for the general public, highlighting the growing importance of robotics in a wide variety of application areas.
The Week also aims at inspiring technology education in students of all ages to pursue careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) related fields.
Robotics is one of the main lines of research at the Politecnico since 1973. The multi-disciplinary activities in the field of robotics is mainly carried out by the Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria (DEIB), and by the Dipartimento di Meccanica, through the work of a few specialized laboratories:

Team AGADE is winner of Switch2Product Innovation Challenge. #AGADE is a Smart Device designed to compensate for the action of gravity, reducing the operator’s fatigue in the actions performed by the upper limbs: the heart of a compact, light and efficient exoskeleton.

Also this year, Nearlab took part in the Polimirun!

During the European Robotics week, Politecnico di Milano organizes an open day at the Robotics laboratories, including NearLab. This year, we presented three demos to the visitors, showing how robots can be used for neurorehabilitation.
