In Bordeaux, at the recent robotics world championships (RoboCup, July 4-10), the Elettra Robotics Lab Association participated with MaRRtino in the challenges in the @Home Edu category, winning the prestigious Rising Star Award.
@Home Edu is a competition that concentrates on service robotics and the creation of intelligent robots to interact with domestic environments. The objective is to promote research and the development of technology that will improve the life quality of people in their own homes, providing assistance and support in various domestic chores.
Elettra Robotics Lab is a non-profit association cofounded by Prof. Raimondo Sgrò. Robot-makers and activities collaborate closely with students at the L. Cobianchi School in Verbania. Together, they have placed various times on the RomeCup podium and other international competitions.
