SIMOD Emilia Romagna Regional Operational Programme (POR-FESR 2021-2027)
The project wants to develop a manipulation framework, based on collaborative robot manipulators installed on mobile platforms, capable of sensing and co-manipulating deformable objects for industrial applications. The goal is to improve the work experience by decreasing the physical and cognitive effort of workers in the manufacturing sector.




AGRARIAN Emilia Romagna Regional Operational Programme (POR-FESR 2021-2027)
The goal of AGRARIAN is the advancement of precision-farming systems over the current standards through UAV, UGV and robot systems equipped with sensors. In particular, UniPR-CIDEA through RIMLab is in charge of image processing algorihms for phenotyping and monitoring of crop condition and disease detection. The main case study of the project is vine cultivation and its pathologies, in particular flavescence doree.

Xdrone: Haptic teleoperation of UAV equipped with X-ray spectometer for detection and identification of radioactive materials in industrial plants. Founded by CNR Progetto Bandiera "La Fabbrica del Futuro Piattaforma Manifatturiera Nazionale".





National Project PRIN: Marine Autonomous Robotics for InterventionS (MARIS ) (2013-16) Objective: studying, developing and integrating, technologies and methodologies enabling the development of underwater robotic systems for manipulation and transportation activities whithin underwater scenarios. The research unit of RimLab is in charge of coordinating the object recognition and grasp planning.





Integrapack. The Integrapack laboratory made up of OCME and PROMAG intends to develop significant innovations in the sectors of packaging, handling, logistics and storage of materials at the beginning of 2010. Rimlab actively contributed to the project by developing tools for the simulation and the intuitive programming of the plant and by developing autonomous navigation algorithms for automated guided vehicles (AGVs).

SICK Robot Day 2010-2012. International competition for mobile robot. The challenge changes at every editiion: the 2010 was like an an orienteering race for robots, the 2012 was a "fetch-and-cary" competition. Our team won the 2012 edition.



VAALID (Accessibility and Usability Validation Framework for AAL Interaction Design Process, collaborative european project (ICT-2007.7.2. Accessible and inclusive ICT). The VAALID project aims at creating new tools and methods to support creation, design and deployment of technological solutions in the context of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) assuring that they are accessible and usable for senior citizens. Main RIMLab's contribution to the project has been the development of a 3D immersive environment, as well as of tangible user interfaces, enabling visualization, navigation and manipulation of a living environment and related services before their actual implementation.


AERTECH-LAB (Automation, Electronics, and Rehabilitation Laboratory) is a network of laboratories in Robotics, Automation, Human Rehabilitation and Technology transfer sponsored by Regione Emilia-Romagna, Italy. Within AERTECH-LAB, RIMLab is contributing research on mobile robot applications, including self-localization, mapping, and advanced user interfaces suitable for industrial applications.


The RIMLab was partner of Laboratory LARER (Laboratorio di Automazione della Regione Emilia-Romagna). The laboratory had the purpose of developing methodologies and applications in the field of industrial automation, with particular attention to techniques for modeling and analysis of complex dynamical systems, the supervision and the real time control and for the hw/sw design of distributed control systems in the fields of automotive, robotics and automatic machines.
