Mission
• fundamental research on materials and processes for
micro- and nano-technologies
• design and fabrication of MEMS and nanostructures
• technological transfer
• education
IIT - Italian Institute of Technology @ POLITO
Center for Space Human Robotics
Robotics
Smart Materials
Energy
The LABS have the aim to
develop the robotics concept
and related technologies for the
space utilization and to foster all
related spin-offs for terrestrial
applications.
The activities are focused on the
development of micro and
nanotechnologies for sensors and
actuators.
The goal is to give a
technological answer to the
demand for portable, alternative
energy sources in space human
robotics
applications,
also
exploitable in very important
industrial
areas
such
as
automation
and
robotics,
portable
electronics
and
automotive.
Smart EVA Glove,
Human Gesture Recognition
Systems,
Distributed
sensors
for
humanoid robots.
Moreover, basic investigations on
processes
and
integration
technologies are included.

Direct Metal Laser
Sintering
This machine sinters metal powder
into a solid part by locally melting
it with a focused laser beam. The
parts are built up additively layer
by layer.
Even complex geometries are
created directly from 3D CAD
data, in a few hours and without
any tooling. It is a net-shape
process, producing parts with good
surface quality and mechanical
properties.

Rapid Prototyping & Systems
The term “temporary tamponades" indicates a group of substances that are injected into the
vitreous chamber in order to replace the corpus vitreum and to promote the adhesion of the
retina. They are often described by the term, fully equivalent, of "vitreous substitutes". The
vitreous substitutes may be temporary (buffering gases like SF6) or permanent (silicone oil).
