SPIN-OFF: ROBOTECH srl
ROBOTECH is an academic spin-off company of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna of Pisa, founded in 2004. ROBOTECH is a SME and R&D company investing in research in Service Robotics and committed to bring Service Robots to the market.
ROBOTECH provides services for the design, development, prototyping and production of new products and its competences are in electronic design and development, firmware and software development, automation, robotics and system integration.
Among the products developed by ROBOTECH is I-Droid01, a programmable robot in an assembly kit, with a number of sensorial and behavioural functions, distributed internationally by DeAgostini Editore. Thanks to I-Droid01 ROBOTECH was awarded in 2008 with the "Fifth EURON/EUnited Robotics Tech-Transfer Award" as best European spin-off company operating in the field of Robotics and realising technology transfer from research and academia to industry.
ROBOTECH is the only European design house of Sensory Inc. world leader in embedded speech technologies. Thanks to this partnership ROBOTECH has now consolidated experience in developing
Services
- Design, development, prototyping and production of electronics. ROBOTECH designs and develops electronic boards tailored to customer requirements, taking care of the hardware side, from the circuit schematics to production files; and the software side, from defining the specifications to the final debug of the firmware. Using the most advanced CAD and software development tools, ROBOTECH supports its clients from concept to production of the first samples and final mass production. For samples and small productions ROBOTECH can assemble circuit boards very quickly and support clients in large-scale production if necessary, with specialist out-sourcing in Italy or abroad.
