ATS-Polo della robotica

Francesco Becchi -Frascati 26/02/2010

Polo della robotica is a non profit association, that merges different complementary experiences of high-tech companies based in Genova.

More than 20 private companies and spin-off (mostly SMEs) collaborates with national academic research groups to achieve critical mass structure to answer to high complexity tasks

Polo della robotica is supported by Università di Genova, Camera di Commercio di Genova, Confindustria Genova and Dixet.
