Course description

Contemporary robotics is very different from the traditional imagery that often accompanies it. This course offers a clear and updated reading of today’s robotics, addressing its fundamental principles, technological architectures, and operational logics that make it one of the most complex and strategic disciplines of industrial and social innovation. Through a structured and accessible path, the course helps to understand how robots evolve from simple automation to increasingly versatile systems, capable of interacting with productive environments and human contexts, and what role artificial intelligence, mechatronics, and programming play in this transformation.

Main Topics

  • Introduction: What (Really) is Robotics
  • What is a Robot: Components and Architecture
  • From Specialization to Versatility: The Evolution of Robots
  • Robotics and Artificial Intelligence: Learning to Act
  • Robots in Application Sectors: Where They Are and Where They Are Heading
  • Emerging Frontiers: Swarms, Construction, and Additive Manufacturing
  • Robotic Programming and Mechatronics: Future Directions
  • Conclusion and Prospective Vision

Participant profile

The course is aimed at managers, technicians, designers, industry and innovation professionals, as well as anyone wishing to gain a solid and informed understanding of advanced robotics, even without in-depth technical specialization.

Objectives

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Understanding What Modern Robotics Really Is, Overcoming Stereotypes and Sci-Fi Imaginations
  • Distinguishing Types of Robots, Fundamental Components, and Architectures
  • Understanding Why Robotics is Intrinsically More Complex Than Purely Digital AI
  • Reading the Evolution of Robotics in Major Application Sectors
  • Having a Clear Vision of Current and Future Directions in Robotic Programming and Mechatronics

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course, participants will be able to correctly interpret what robotics is today, distinguishing types of robots, fundamental components, and architectures. They will have a clear understanding of the differences and interactions between robotics and artificial intelligence, comprehend the main current and emerging application fields, and be able to read the evolutionary directions of robotic programming and mechatronics, with a focus on future prospects.
