Offer Description This project will study and prototype innovative robotic systems devoted to large-scale manipulation of loads.

Such robots will be applicable to poorly-automated operations, not optimized for resource consumption, and possibly unsafe for human workers.

The development of this class of manipulators aims to robotize agricultural tasks, maintain solar and wind farms, increase lifting operation efficiency (both on the ground and at sea), realize the additive manufacturing of buildings, and lastly civil and construction operation in general.

The final goal of this study is to improve both the efficiency (in terms of physical and energy resources) and workers' safety and comfort, in the fields where these robots are supposed to be used, in order to achieve global sustainability (environmental, economic, and social), thus taking into account not only productivity, but also ecological impact and workplace quality.
