As robots become smarter, more autonomous, valuable for various purposes, and increasingly interactive with humans, novel and unforeseen challenges emerge. Making complex robotic systems easier to program and use, endowing robots with capabilities to operate in complex and dynamic environments or allowing autonomous robots to work in areas shared with humans are examples of problems that
need new tools and paradigms.
The institution developed a robotic system that enables footwear printing using bio-based inks, as part of the European project Waste2BioComp. From now on, the manufacturing of sustainable footwear becomes easier and increasingly efficient.
