At the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Genoa, humanoid robots are no longer just science fiction, they’re being developed for tasks such as assisting human workers in factories and even flying into disaster zones. Researchers are pushing the boundaries of robotics with innovations like ErgoCub, a robot designed to support industrial workers which can carry loads of up to 10kg, and iRonCub, a jet-powered robot built for emergency response.
We head inside IIT’s robotics lab with Daniele Pucci, Head of Artificial and Mechanical Intelligence to say hello to some of the robots and explore how these advanced machines could become an integral part of our world in the next decade.

This is an 18Sixty production for PTC. Executive producer is Jacqui Cook. Location recording by Carola Haupt. Sound design and editing by Clarissa Maycock. Music by Rowan Bishop.
