It stands less than a metre tall, with a compact, lightweight design. Its name is AURORA, and it is the robot developed in the laboratories of the Department of Information Engineering at the University of Pisa\u2014an innovation set to revolutionise warehouse management. Aurora can map its surroundings using laser technology to detect obstacles, and, by means of radio frequency signals transmitted by smart tags (RFID), it identifies the position of all present items and sends this information to a database, generating a constantly updated map of the warehouse and its inventory with each scan.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cAurora is, in fact, an advanced telecommunications system<\/strong>,\u201d explains Andrea Motroni, researcher in telecommunications engineering at the University of Pisa, \u201cwhich uses electromagnetic signals to identify and locate every object in the environment. It then transmits this data to a database, thus constructing a comprehensive map of a warehouse or large store. What\u2019s more, the tags have no batteries, require no maintenance, are ultra-thin, and can be easily integrated into a variety of materials\u2014from fabrics to paper.\u201d<\/p>\n

The result is that industries, large retailers and e-commerce providers can monitor their stock levels in real time<\/strong>\u2014even in highly sensitive sectors such as pharmaceutical supplies\u2014and determine which products are selling most, and therefore need to be reordered more frequently, and which are harder to sell.<\/p>\n

\u201cAurora is one of the technologies developed at the 5.0 Centre of the Department of Information Engineering,\u201d says Giovanni Stea, Professor of Computer Engineering at the University of Pisa. \u201cThe Centre supports businesses and public institutions in adopting new technologies for Industry 5.0. Strengthening our country\u2019s digital sovereignty and enhancing the resilience of the production system in a sustainable, human-centred way is what can enable us to keep our industrial system and our region modern and competitive.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
