Projects
We are involved in several national and international research projects.
Fit4MedRob: Fit for Medical Robotics - 44 mesi per rivoluzionare i modelli assistivi e riabilitativi
UniGe is taking part in the FIT4MEDROB project ‘Fit for Medical Robotics: A new generation of biorobotic and digital technologies for a sustainable welfare’, one of the four projects recently approved in the NRRP call dedicated to health technologies and in this specific case to technologies for biorobotics, rehabilitation robotics and digital technologies. The project's main aim is to bring the results of robotic research and artificial intelligence into the everyday use of the Italian healthcare system. Research in Italy on prosthetic robotics is of great international importance. The project was created to respond to the need to disseminate robotic solutions for both physical and cognitive prosthetics and rehabilitation. The project is divided into three spokes: the first on health and neuroscience research, the second on robotics, and the third on the new digital technologies of the future including artificial intelligence, new sensors and new materials.
Manuela Chessa is Activity Leader for Activity 7: Digital Infrastructure, Environments and Services. Activity 7 is responsible for creating and coordinating the digital infrastructure of the project, supporting the experimental validation, by providing state-of-the-art and innovative solutions for interoperability, data acquisition, sharing, and storage. Activity 7 is also responsible for creating and integrating into robotics setup digital immersive environments based on VR and Ar to enrich and support the rehabilitation interventions.
