Join our visionary workshop “COgITOR readings” and be part of the change!

Three years ago, project COgITOR started. At the time, it was impossible to imagine the achievements that were done so far. For this reason, on the 31st of October and 1st of November, in Nizza Monferrato (Asti, Italy), we are glad to announce that we  will host a workshop and put on the table all the fantastic and outstanding achievements done in the field of soft robotics and unconventional computing. We will present the results related to liquid computing devices, amorphous memories, neuromorphic systems, and also achievements in the field of material science involving materials for the energy harvesting from thermal gradients and self-healing ones.

The beneficiaries of the project, the brightest minds in Europe, involve Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Genova – Italy, the University of the West of England in Bristol – U.K., Empa in Dübendorf and EPFL in Lausanne – Switzerland, and two companies, CiaoTech (Italy) and PlasmaChem (Germany). Moreover, scientists from all around the world will be involved, including the United States of America, Australia and other countries as well. Aim of the workshop is that of creating a brainstorming-like atmosphere, so the ideas will be shared among colleagues to create future consortia and proposals for funding agencies.

The workshop will represent an extremely rich and dense event. Of course, all such information will be distributed between the scientific community. But as we believe in open science practices, we think that it’s mandatory to share such information with a broader audience. Therefore, all this material will be made available to anybody interested in seeing how the technology of the future could look like.
