Humanity Through Robotics

Robotics, as well as automation technologies in general are now entering more and more
deeply into our daily lives. From their original use in heavy industry and large factories, we have
moved into a new era where "land, sea and air" robots work for us, enhancing and improving –
at the end of the day – the quality of our own life. The aim of this panel is to highlight the recent
innovations and uses, the challenges and associated problems, but also the future perspectives,
taking into account their new role in the evolution of society.
