Description:

Departments of Excellence Patents COLLABORATION WITH COMPANIES Spin-off Companies PROJECTS POST-DOCS KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER The high level of research of the Sant'Anna School is recognized by the results of the Quality Assessment Research (VQR) for 2004-2010 conducted by the ANVUR. The international magazine "Times Higher Education" ranked the school among the best universities in the World University Rankings 2015-2016. Advanced education, frontier research and innovation: this is The BioRobotics Institute of Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies, founded in 2011. With time the Institute has built a wealth of knowledge and expertise in several fields of biorobotics and bionics, such as medical robotics, wearable technologies, collaborative robotics, bio-inspired robotics, neuroscience robotics, rehabilitation robotics and implantable technologies.The Institute promotes the internationalization of didactics and scientific research through collaboration with the most prestigious international knowledge centers. The Institute aims to educate engineers that are scientists, inventors, entrepreneurs and problem solvers.Our mission is based on three pillars:The BioRobotics Institute has also activated anEducational Roboticsprogram with schools in Tuscany, Italy. The program aims at bringing technology and robotics in schools and using them as a new instrument for teaching scientific and technical subjects. Sant'Anna magazine NEUROENGINEERING, A NOVEL STUDY BY THE BIOROBOTICS INSTITUTE OF SCUOLA SUPERIORE SANT’ANNA PAVES THE WAY TO PERFORM PERSONALIZED THERAPY FOR PARKINSON’S DISEASE The work, published in Brain Stimulation, discovered a feature in the neural signal able to identify the onset and the offset of patient’s walks. “The aim – says Alberto Mazzoni, Assistant Professor at The BioRobotics Institute and Principal Investigator of Computational Neuroengineering Laboratory - is to improve current stimulation therapies for Parkinson’s Disease”. The study has been realized in collaboration with the University of Genova and the team led by Prof. Ioannis U. Isaias (University Hospital and Julius Maximilian University, Würzburg) 26.10.2020 Sant'Anna magazine Sant’Anna School offers intensive “Seasonal Schools”: 14 virtual and face to face traditional courses in October 2020 and September 2021 on latest cutting-edge research in photonics, circular economy, and data science in healthcare With the core objective of presenting new approaches in higher education to photonics, circular economy and data science in healthcare, the virtual and in person Seasonal Schools offered at Sant’Anna School are aimed at giving Italian and international university and PhD students achieving the equivalent Italian scale average score of 27/30, a more intensive learning experience. Scholarships funded by the Foundation “Il Talento all’Opera” covering 50% of the tuition fee amount will be awarded  to 4 students  achieving highest grades in their course    25.09.2020 Sant'Anna magazine DEVELOPING MODELS OF PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM TO TREAT DISEASES. A STUDY PUBLISHED IN NATURE PROTOCOLS SHOWS METHOD THAT MIMICS INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ROBOTIC LIMBS AND NERVOUS SYSTEM A study published in journal “Nature Protocols” presents a novel method to interface with the peripheral nervous system for a better understanding of human health and diseases. Electrodes used to decode information and mimic interactions occurring in the nervous system will be crucial in controlling robotic prostheses of amputees as well as in providing autonomic nerves stimulations for patients with diabetes and hypertension. The study is led by a team of researchers coordinated by Prof. Silvestro Micera. "We believe our models could improve the quality of life of disabled patients" 20.09.2020 The Artificial Hands Area of the BioRobotics Institute pursues research into mechatronics and human-machine interfaces for advanced robotic limbs to be used as thought-controlled prostheses. CREATIVE ENGINEERING DESIGN AREA Creative engineering design in robotics and biorobotics is a way to bridge research and industrial innovation, to develop acceptable and sustainable robots, and to educate creative students. The dream: to develop wearable robots allowing the human-robot symbiosisSymbiosis: “a close, prolonged association between two or more different organisms of different species that may, but... ROBOT COMPANIONS FOR CITIZENS AREA Major scientific and engineering breakthroughs are needed to develop high performance, complex artificial systems, like robots, as Companions that are safe, social, dependable, sustainable and... Sensor Signals and Information Processing Area The research activity concerns the design, development and validation of wearable inertial sensor systems for ambulatory human motion monitoring.  The growing need for robots in service tasks, in unstructured environments, in contact with humans, is leading to relase the basic assumption of rigid parts in robotics. SURGICAL ROBOTICS AND ALLIED TECHNOLOGIES AREA The Surgical Robotics (SR) researchers investigate problems, identify enabling technologies and develop solutions for addressing the field of minimally invasive and targeted therapy and diagnosis TRANSLATIONAL NEURAL ENGINEERING AREA Neuroengineering is a novel discipline combining engineering including micro and nanotechnology, electrical and mechanical, and computer science with cellular, molecular, cognitive neuroscience Robot Manipulation and Control BioRobotics PhD - Seminar Cycle on Principles of BioRobotics Science and Engineering On November 17, at 6.00 pm, prof. Bruno Siciliano (PRISMA Lab - University of Naples Federico II) will present the Seminar "Robot Manipulation and Control". Seminar: Use of the Robotics in the Rehabilitation of the upper limb in Stroke patients Scientific evidence, opportunities, and barriers for the clinical practice implementation.
