SOMIRO School
Miniaturized and soft robots
9-13 October 2023
Marina di Castagneto Carducci (Italy)
Registration will open soon…
Objectives
The SOMIRO School on “Miniaturized and soft robots” consist in a 4-days program balancing frontal and practical lessons, plus some networking and social activities. The main topics discussed will be about innovations in the robotics sector and characterization at the nano-scale in industrial environment, with special attention to the transfer of the knowledge acquired in SOMIRO. Networking with companies and other European funded projects to discover future opportunities in the robotics market will be encouraged.
SOMIRO School is addressed to high-degree students and young researchers, partners of other EU funded projects and professionists in the robotics sector all over Europe.
Every participant will be allowed to present their work inside everyday’s poster session!
