What is a robot? It is a mechanical device capable of interacting with its environment; it is a shell for an artificial intelligence; it is a machine that can autonomously perform an assigned task.
But it's also much more than this, something that escapes baseline definitions and has fascinated humanity for centuries.
Robotics is at a crucial point in its evolution, an interesting and exciting time during which it's coming to terms with a number of technical, practical and even philosophical issues. We will record this key moment in history also through the decisive contributions that European research labs are offering to the field.
