Microrobotic capsule, which can be ingested by a patient, equipped with a mechanism for releasing topic therapies in the gastrointestinal tract.

Simple device able to modify its buoyancy depending only on the received solar radiation, expanding or compressing the variable volume of a bladder.

A highly effective and practical touch control arrangement that can be totally integrated with any type of support, such as textiles and wearable equipments. 

Soft, flexible, sensitive and high spatial resolution tactile sensor, suitable as a “sensitive skin” for humanoid robots or, for instance, in automotive, entertainment, sportswear and nautical applications.

Ankle Rehabilitation Platform, a medical device able to accelerate and significantly improve the functional recovery of patients with ankle impairments.

The invention relates to the field of robot engineering, in particular to underwater and surface robots, and is concerned with mechanics and control processes.

These rotary actuators embed a flexible transmission system which allows the actuator to be safe towards human and environment and robust during interaction. 

A simple and original design and fabrication processing of a stress-driven out-of-plane bent Artificial Hair Cell exploiting the piezo- electricity and piezo- resistivity properties of material both as read-out and actuation. 

Variable stiffness actuation unit that uses a specially cam shaped lever arm mechanism with a variable pivot axis.

Objectives of this invention are to provide both real time depth map computation and low power consumption to achieve a portable stereo vision system.

A novel instrument allows measuring multidimensional stiffness in two or three dimensions. The present invention allows scanning the stiffness value of whatever material evaluating the stiffness in multiple directions.
