Calogero Oddo, Associate Professor at the BioRobotics Institute of the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, is among the speakers at the symposium "From Concept to Reality: Taking Intelligent Agents into the Real World", scheduled to take place in Shenzhen, China, on Thursday, April 23. The event, organized by Science Robotics, is part of Fair AI and Robotics+, a major industrial robotics exhibition.

The symposium, which brings together leading scholars in the field of engineering, explores one of the emerging challenges in modern robotics: the development of intelligent systems capable of operating in complex and dynamic real-world environments.

Calogero Oddo's talk focuses on how artificial intelligence and robotics, inspired by the functioning of the human body, are opening new frontiers in medicine. The collaboration between engineering and neuroscience has led to the development of bionic hand prostheses capable of restoring complex tactile sensations, such as the shape and texture of objects. At the same time, advanced sensors and wearable devices make it possible to monitor breathing and cardiac activity remotely. These technologies not only improve patients' quality of life, but also open new possibilities for telemedicine and for increasingly "sensitive" and intelligent robots.
