The event promoted by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale will be held from 2 to 4 April
28 March, 2019 - L'Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma will also participate this year in the RomeCup, now in its 13th edition on the theme "Humanity at the crossroad", and hosted by the Roma Tre University, from 2 to 4 April. The Fondazione Mondo Digitale event, which will end on 5 April at the Sala Protomoteca of the Campidoglio in Rome, is dedicated to robotics and life sciences, to bring new generations closer to the study of scientific subjects and new skills and professional profiles required by the job market.
It will be divided into conferences, thematic orientation talks, competitions and creative contests that will directly involve students. In the Scientific Committee, prof. Eugenio Guglielmelli, vice-rector in search ofUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma, who will speak at the opening plenary lecture.
Our University will also be present in three orientation talks: Prof. Loredana Zollo, Associate Professor of Industrial Bioengineering, will discuss “Women's Robotics”; the engineer, Domenico Formica will illustrate the study path of a biomedical engineer while Prof. Pennazza will tell how to become an industrial engineer. The students UCBM, under the supervision of the engineer. Fabrizio Taffoni, will coordinate some teams during competitions among high school students.
The day of April 3 will see the young talents of Italian robotics compete in a hackathon, which will be evaluated by a jury of which UCBM it is part. Computer experts from all over the country will find themselves collaborating on a common project: the competition will consist in offering efficient innovative solutions (such as apps, websites, robotic prototypes) for "human enhancement", or human enhancement aimed at treating the disease and disability, but also to enhance normal human abilities and qualities.
RomeCup 2019 will attract the participation of over 100 schools and actors of excellence in the sector of multi-sector robotics in the academic-university and entrepreneurial fields. In fact, robotics is not only useful for learning how to build or use robots, but also for acquiring an adequate method of reasoning and experimentation. All this involves the combination of various disciplines and allows students to learn science in a stimulating, creative and engaging way.
