The team

DIANA, since 2008, has aimed to bring space robotics applications to Politecnico di Torino by developing and prototyping technology demonstrators of space rovers for astronaut support in future manned missions on other planets. The Team is a talent incubator: the students build advanced knowledge of robotics. They are put to the test in managing a complex and challenging project, gaining highly professionalized skills. DIANA is active in numerous research fields and counts many publications gained during the years.
