Stefano Stramigioli is Professor of Advanced Robotics at the University of Twente where he leads the Robotics And Mechatronics (RAM) Lab. He is also covering a guest co-chair position at the International Laboratory of BioMechatronics and Energy Efficient Robotics at ITMO.
Stefano talks about how he leads the Robotics and Mechatronics lab at University of Twente. The lab focuses on inspection and maintenance robotics, as well as medical applications.
Stefano got into robotics when he saw the robots in Star Wars, and started out building a robotic arm from scratch, including doing his own PCBs etc.
He also tells us about the robotic peregrine falcon that has been spun out and is now a successful company of their own. Check it out at www.clearflightsolutions.com
Stefano and Per agree that the simple reason for being in robotics is that it’s just so cool!
