The Robotics and Mechatronics (RM) curriculum is an international curriculum allowing to obtain a double Ph.D. degree. Robotics is defined as the engineering field dealing with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots. Robots are automated machines that can assist humans in a variety of settings, from manufacturing processes to working in critical conditions, unsuitable for human life. Robotics specialists aim to achieve diverse tasks by designing mechanical devices, able to complete them intelligently. Robotics is related to other science sub-fields such as computer science, machine design, bio-mechanics.
In particular, the main areas are:
Industrial Robotics (RM1)
Mobile Robotics (RM2)
Intelligent Mechatronics (RM3)
Research themes concern: • Measurement Science; • Dynamic measurement and signal processing; • Probabilistic models and methods; • Measurement and models for biomechanics; • Measurement for the Sea; •Vibration measurement and control; • Synthesis and analysis of mechanisms for robotics; • Intelligent automation, energy-efficient and eco-sustainable manufacturing; • Actuation/sensorial systems and integrated function-fusion design; • development manipulation systems; • home automation (domotics); • remote manipulation; • modular robots and robots for safety; • intelligent mini-vehicles; • assembly systems; • fluid automation; • models and simulation of systems for robotics and mechatronics; • man-machine interaction; • collaborative robotics; • cooperative robotics; • robot programming; • integration of robotic systems; • mechatronics for the automatic machine sectors & for the mechanical and marine industry.
