Italian Scientist Proposes New Direction of "Sustainable Robotics," Advocates Designing for the Full Lifecycle
Barbara Mazzolai, deputy director of robotics at the Italian Institute of Technology, moved from biology to robotics engineering and has developed biomimetic robots based on octopuses, plant roots, and seeds. In July, she and collaborators published a manifesto in Nature Machine Intelligence, proposing "sustainable robotics" as a new research field and advocating sustainability as a core design principle, so that robots have minimal environmental impact, are easily accessible worldwide, and coexist with nature.

IEEE EPICS Team Develops Portable Robotics and AI Teaching Platform RoboMeshA in Mexico
Many high schools in Guadalajara, Mexico, lack advanced tools such as robotics labs, making it difficult for students to gain hands-on experience. A 15-member interdisciplinary team from ITESO developed RoboMeshA, a portable, self-contained teaching platform, through the IEEE EPICS program, bringing robotics and AI experiences into the classroom. Students connect directly to the platform via a browser and can operate the robot manually, or use a control mode to observe it move, detect, and avoid obstacles. The team has built two devices and is developing a modular coupling framework that can support four robots operating collaboratively. The project has been validated at two high schools.
