The P2 – Basic AI & Robotics Applications 4SMEs seminar series by Spoke 5 concludes successfully

On September 24, the final session of the Basic AI & Robotics Applications 4SMEs seminar series, part of Spoke 5’s Training Program, was held at the Talent Garden Genoa venue.

The theme of the event focused on the applications of robotics in logistics operations on the company shop floor — from workshops and laboratories to warehouses.

Joining remotely, Jody Saglia, founder of Alto Robotics, presented Node, a platform featuring an autonomous mobile robot capable of navigating company spaces through a customizable mapping system. The robot’s design won the prestigious Red Dot Design Award 2024 in the Design Concepts category.

The second speaker, Paolo Guria, Founder and CEO of Unconventional Minds—a startup studio specialized in robotics and mechatronics—shared his experience of over 20 years in automation. Over the past eight years, including six at IIT, he has focused on the design, construction, and debugging of multi-joint and humanoid robots. His presentation highlighted projects for public spaces where robotics plays not only a functional but also a choreographic role, through kinetic sculptures that strongly define the character of each space.

With this final session, the training program comes to a close, offering participants concrete and innovative insights into the integration of artificial intelligence and robotics solutions within business processes. The initiative reaffirms Spoke 5’s central role in promoting advanced technological skills across diverse audiences.
