A Committee consisting of robotics scientists and of scholars in Humanities has instituted School of Robotics (2000). Actually, School of Robotics is upholding the transdisciplinarity of its mission.

The aim of the “Scuola di Robotica” is to promote the knowledge of Robotics among students and young people, in the range of the pre doc school; to teachers and the general public.

School of Robotics is deeply involved in the study of the complex interaction between Robotics and Society, and is supporting the international project for the development of Roboethics, the ethics applied to robotics.

The main aims of Robot at School are: Understanding the impact of ICT, of Robotics and of new technologies in general with regard to the processes and learning methodologies; Technical, scientific and methodological update for the teachers working in secondary technical and vocational schools; Development and diffusion of a highly innovative didactic methodology through a multidisciplinary Virtual Laboratory on the Internet. This will allow a practical experimentation by the students of the involvement in a transnational research work in which they can actively participate to the creation of a common robot; Promoting cooperation between the different disciplines with regard to the realization of an innovative experiment.
