“AI for Good” is the leading action-oriented, global, and inclusive United Nations platform on Artificial Intelligence, organised by the International Telecommunication Union in partnership with 40 UN sister agencies and co-convened with Switzerland.
Our SoftGrip project, through our coordinator Matteo Cianchetti, Assistant Professor in The BioRobotics Institute at Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, has participated in the “AI for Good” webinar on February 14th 2023. More specifically, he was asked to be part of the panel “Exploring the future of biologically-inspired soft robots for good” to present our project mission, (soft) robotics work and overall technological approach to delicate grasping. The webinar aims to provide fertile ground for AI innovators and problem owners to connect and exchange ideas on novel ideas and social impact initiatives. This way, Sustainable Development Goals can be prioritised with the help of AI to bring about beneficial results for the society and industrial world.
Matteo Cianchetti was part of a panel comprised of Dr Barbara Mazzolai (Associate Director for Robotics and Director of the Bioinspired Soft Robotics Laboratory at Institute Italiano di Tecnologia), Dr Robert Katzschmann (Assistant Professor and Director of Soft Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich) and Dr Hannah Stuart (Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Berkeley).
