October 30, Milan

Comau participated in the event “HumanTech | Unfolding Pathways for the More-than-Human Society,” organized by the Department of Management Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano. Focused on the relationship between technology and people, the event featured testimonials from leading companies in technological innovation, industry experts, and academics.

During the conference, Stefania Ferrero, Chief Marketing and Solutions Portfolio Officer at Comau, illustrated the company’s “HumanTech” vision, highlighting the integration between technology and human capabilities for a sustainable industrial future. She presented Comau’s innovative approach to the design of automation systems and focused on human-machine collaboration to develop advanced, intuitive, and safe solutions that improve the quality of work and the well-being of workers. Among the “HumanTech” solutions presented, the latest generation of collaborative (cobots), mobile, wearable, and educational robots stood out.  Flexible automation systems and AI-based digital solutions were also illustrated, which optimize decision-making and operational processes, creating smart and connected factories.

Comau’s “Human Tech” approach is based on the belief that technology should be an ally to humans, not just a production tool. With this in mind, robots and other automation tools should be designed to support people, enhancing their creative abilities. Our payoff, ‘Our Tech Speaks Human’, fully reflects this vision, expressing our idea of technology that communicates in an intuitive and human way. Technology thus becomes an extension of human capabilities, amplifying individual and collective potential”.

Another contribution came from Duilio Amico, Head of Wearable Robotics at Comau, who presented Comau’s MATE exoskeleton, a wearable and customizable solution that aims to improve ergonomics, reduce physical effort, and simplify work activities, thus helping relieve operators of heavy and repetitive tasks.

The company’s commitment to developing cutting-edge technologies to support people is already in the research and innovation phases and is reinforced by solid collaborations with academic institutions such as the Politecnico di Milano.

The conference space also hosted an innovation laboratory run by the Politecnico di Milano, where visitors were able to take a close look at the MATE-XT and XB exoskeleton technologies.
