Who we are
We are LabMACS. The Laboratory deals with the study of mechatronic systems and digitalization. In the laboratory, there are technologies and robots related to research on submarine systems and educational robotics. The laboratory is very active in orientation activities thanks to its national and international projects, which involve students of all levels. It has marine and submarine robots, three-dimensional navigation equipment for archaeological sites, protected marine areas, and biomorphic robots (fish) and humanoids (bipeds).
