RoboMate, has thus obtained awards and recognitions from prestigious realities including:

The activity is entirely focused on the man-machine relationship in which the robot is not seen as a foreign entity but enters more and more into everyone’s daily life until it can be considered an innovative support in the treatment of autism, and for the support of Older people. The TREAT Project (Therapeutic Robot in Experimental Autism Therapy), also awarded by the startup incubator “Working Capital Telecom” in 2013, was born with this aim: it is an initiative aimed at creating a new experimental therapy for the treatment autism. It is based on the platform we invented “RoboMate ©” and on the programming of robots using some software made exclusively by our team, with the support of universities, research centers, teachers, doctors, and pedagogists.
The research team immediately realized how useful humanoid robots can be in the study of treatments concerning behavioral disorders. Thus began a path of study of specific cases and development of further applications for the various social robots, through “RoboMate”.

Always active in the field of research, together with the Kore University of Enna, in July 2015 we presented a research document, in the form of a poster, entitled “TESTING THE FEASIBILITY OF A SOCIAL ROBOT DELIVERED CONDITIONAL DISCRIMINATION TRAINING.
ACBS World Conference 13 – Berlin 2015 “

Currently our “RoboMate” platform with more than 100 installations, (as of 2021), is in use in hospitals, health centers, research centers, social cooperatives, therapists, schools.

Virtual reality and augmented reality.

Development of virtual reality solutions for serious games, entertainment and healthcare. In collaboration with IESCUM and Kore University, we have developed a solution for the therapy of psychological trauma, and in July 2015 we presented a research paper, in the form of a poster, entitled “Virtual defusion is real defusion?” at the ACBS World Conference 13 – Berlin 2015.

Together with the University of Messina, in 2015, we developed a solution for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s.

In 2015, we began the development of an application, NiWell, in the wellness field, for the use of immersive virtual reality in fitness activities such as exercise bikes, steppers, treadmills, rowing machines. Niwell made it to the finals at the prestigious Technogym competition in 2015.

In 2016, we participated in the first “Scholas Labs Jam” wanted by Pope Francis, through “Scholas Occurrentes”, a body of pontifical right, creating the “SmartSpace” project for a school without virtual reality walls.

This love story begins with a passion rooted in our childhood: Marco and I, like many brothers, identified ourselves from an early age in the exploits of Daisuke, Hiroshi, Tetsuya and those who, since the end of the 70s, were animating those legendary Robots who in every episode they fought the forces of evil … Over the years our passion has led us to “command” even in reality our small fleet of robots (committing ourselves with dedication in the fight against an evil of our days).
In 2012 we created Behavior Labs srl: an innovative startup based in Catania to “give a soul” to a humanoid robot; the aim is in fact that automata and humans can coexist harmoniously in the name of mutual utility through edutainment and digital health solutions.
Our laboratories, strengthened by research and experimentation in the field, have quickly carved out an increasingly important position in the world of so-called “Health robotics” which today has to study disorders such as autism, developmental and behavioral deficits. Thanks to the consolidated partnership with the Kore University of Enna, with IESCUM, (European Institute for the study of human behavior), our reality – which studies to program the behavior of robots – is always looking for solutions that can improve quality. of the life of human beings.
The activity is entirely focused on the man-machine relationship in which the robot is not seen as a foreign entity but enters more and more into everyone’s daily life until it can be considered an innovative support in the treatment of autism, and for the support of Older people.
