RomeCup – Day One

The first humanoids that can operate under water, the performances of bionic athletes and sensitive limb prostheses are at the heart of the lectio magistralis that will be held by Oussama Khatib, Robert Riener and Nitish V. Thakor, three of the foremost global experts on robotics, who will open RomeCup 2018 – Robotics and Life Sciences in the Innovation Ecosystem (April 16-18,  Rome Campus Bio-Medico University and Campidoglio).

 

Following the keynote speeches, there will be a round table on “Education and Work in the Automation Society.”

 

The 12th edition of RomeCup pursues the successful multi-event formula and introduces new formats such as creative contests for university and school-work programme students, interactive orientation talks and Mux, an original artistic research module on artificial intelligence and natural creativity.

 

The Rome Campus Bio-Medico University will host conferences, labs, and a showcase area with over 130 prototypes (developed by schools, too) and Robotics competitions, including the selection of the Italian teams that will participate in the Robocup Junior Competition in Canada. On the final day, the Rome Campidoglio will host the finals and awards ceremony.

 

Here is today’s programme:
