Milan, Italy – March 2024 - The students of the Salesian Rainerum Institute in Bolzano, continue to make milestones and confirm South Tyrolean excellence in the field of robotics. "This time it is Augusto Martino, Elisa Aricò and Elia Vismara, with the collaboration of their comrades Arianna Marrone, Matteo Colaone and Noah Perli, who won second place at the 35th FAST (Youth and Science) competition held in Milan from 16 to 18 March, earning the opportunity to represent Italy at the Genius Olympiad in Rochester (NY) in the USA from 10 to 14 June. The young South Tyroleans, led by professors Prof. Monfalcon, Prof. Finotti, Prof. Sanin and Prof. Bertotto, won the final selections with a bold and current project that looks to the future: R.E.I (Robotic Emphatic Intelligence). R.E.I. is a robot that represents an evolutionary leap in the interaction between man and machine. Through the integration of facial recognition technologies, neural networks and artificial intelligence, R.E.I. stands out as a humanoid robot capable of perceiving and communicating emotions", as stated by the Dean, Prof. Stefano Monfalcon.
