The aim of this project is to develop a robotic swarm able to execute applications of scientific interest.

The main features of our swarm are the flexilibity respect to application context and the ability to conduct experiments into small environments, like the one of a university lab.

The SAETTA project started in the second half of 2007 by an idea of Prof. Giovanni Ulivi and Prof. Francesco La Gala. Since the beginning I have been involved in the realization of the project. Until now, a swarm of 12 units has been developed. After a proper setup, now the project has turn to develop applications of scientific interest. Actually the project involves many people, both students and collaborators, working on several directions.

Because this is the main page of the project, I would like to fully thank people who, in different phases, worked with me to make the mechanical platform a robot. A special thank goes to the "core group" constituted by Francesco Bori, Claudio Carbone, Enrico Di Lello and Giovanni Micheli (strictly in alphabetical order) for having put their hands and especially their minds in the "stuff", that now we call SAETTA. Thanks to our contribution, other people now can simply send a message, give a motion command, know the robot position or a sensor value without worrying about how the system works.

After a proper start up, now SAETTA is the main project in the robotic lab of the Roma Tre University.
