Sestosenso

Sestosenso is a Horizon Europe – Research and Innovation project developing technologies for next generations of collaborative robots capable of self-adapting to different time-varying operational conditions and when human intervention is required either for collaboration or training. The project proposes a new sensing technology from the hardware and up to the cognitive perception and control levels, based on networks of embedded proximity and tactile sensors on the robot body, providing a unified proxy-tactile perception of the environment, required to control the robot actions and interactions, safely and autonomously. Within the project, the same technologies are also applied to wearable devices, such as exoskeletons, to provide the user with better spatial awareness and to enforce safety in critical human-robot interactive tasks.
