Three distinguished scientists - Dr. Alessandro Albini from the University of Oxford (UK), Dr. Jelizaveta Konstantinova from Ocado Technology, and Prof. Giorgio Cannata from the University of Genova (Italy) - gave seminars about touch sensors and robotics at ISSP that were also streamed online. Their visit we made possible by the HE project Sestosenso. The talks are now available online.

On March 15th, we organized a joint workshop between Sestosenso and Convince Project addressing Safe Adaption for Long Term Autonomy and Human-Robot Interaction at the European Robotic Forum 2024 in Rimini-Italy. We explored shared challenges between the two projects in achieving safe robot autonomy, where showcased our initial results.

The Perceive Sestosenso online workshop has taken place on June 9th, involving partners, stakeholders and interested third parties. The workshop has included insights into the Sestosenso project, talks by our invited speakers, and engaging discussions. Together, we have explored challenges, exchanged suggestions, and defined key performance indicators (KPIs) to drive the success of innovative collaborative robotics application.
On October 25th 2022, project Sestosenso has been featured in the talk Spatial sensing and perception: from touch to proximity presented in the workshop LARGE-SCALE ROBOTIC SKIN: PERCEPTION, INTERACTION, AND CONTROL during the IEEE/RJS International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems – IROS 2022.
On October 17th 2022, project Sestosenso has been featured in the online event Paving the way towards the next generation of R&I excellence in AI, Data and Robotics organized by the Adra-e project.
