This intensive Summer School offers participants a hands-on deep dive into the rapidly evolving world of robotics deployed in unstructured, real-world environments. Over the course of the program, students and early-career researchers will explore the fundamental challenges that distinguish field robotics from its laboratory counterpart — from robust perception and state estimation under adverse conditions, to autonomous navigation across rough terrain, to resilient decision-making in the absence of reliable infrastructure. Lectures from leading academic and industry experts are tightly integrated with practical sessions, giving participants direct experience with robotic platforms operating outdoors in conditions that mirror genuine deployment scenarios.
The Summer School is designed for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and professionals with a background in robotics, computer science, mechanical engineering, or related disciplines who wish to push their expertise beyond controlled settings. Topics covered span mobile manipulation, aerial and ground vehicle autonomy, SLAM in GPS-denied environments, human-robot interaction in the field, and safety-critical system design. By the end of the program, attendees will have not only strengthened their theoretical foundations but also built the practical intuition needed to design, deploy, and evaluate robotic systems that must perform reliably where conditions are unpredictable and the stakes are high.
The Summer School will be activated with at least 10 students. The maximum number of participants is set to 100 students.
Lessons will be held in Pisa, Parco di San Rossore, Casale la Sterpaia.
