Description

The research activities carried out by the Mechatronics and Robotics Group of the University of Udine concern the topics of: dynamic modeling and trajectory planning for mechatronic and robotic systems, collaborative robotics, vibration mechanics, mobile robotics for autonomous mapping and monitoring applications in agriculture. The Research Group laboratory hosts students of bachelor's and master's degrees in Mechanical, Electronic and Management Engineering, doctoral students, research fellows and visiting students from abroad. Numerous robotic systems are available within the laboratory, such as industrial and collaborative manipulators, autonomous mobile robots, as well as sensors for data acquisition and analysis. The laboratory boasts numerous scientific research collaborations at a national and international level, as well as with local companies to increase competitiveness and technological transfer.
