Robot umanoide Uranus
Uranus is a humanoid robot with 24 degrees of freedom (DOF) developed by ERL with the goal of reaching a height of 80 cm, surpassing the limit of previous projects. Uranus was conceived as a project to exceed the height limit of 60 cm set by previous endeavors. In addition to its size, the control electronics are based on two levels of intelligence: - The lower level is based on an 8-bit microcontroller that manages and interpolates the movements of the servos. This is the Poldino Servo Board with a PIC18F4550 processor. - A Raspberry Pi Zero board handles high-level tasks. On the mechanical side, Uranus has 24 degrees of freedom. The joints, excluding the neck (2 DOF) and hands, are controlled by 60 kgcm servomotors. The neck and hands have smaller servos with 20 or 40 kgcm torque. Apart from the two degrees of freedom in the hips, the torso is also noteworthy as it features two additional degrees of freedom: inclination and rotation.

Elettra Robotics Lab
Elettra Robotics Lab è un’associazione no profit, fondata da un gruppo di makers con lo scopo di promuovere la robotica come elemento di studio, svago e lavoro. A questo scopo, collabora con diversi enti, aziende e scuole. Ha lanciato una propria linea di prodotti educativi, in particolare i robot in kit PoldinoBot, in varie versioni e le schede della linea PoldinoBoard e l'ultima nata Elettrino. I progetti dell'associazione, in particolare i robot umanoidi, sono stati esposti in numerosi eventi nazionali ed internazionali.
