C.R.E.A.T.E. Consortium (CREATE) seeks 2 full-time Research Assistants (RAs) to work respectively on:

RA1 — Soft Robots Modelling and Control
RA2 — Image Elaboration in AI for Robot Navigation

CREATE is a non-profit research organisation possessing a legal personality. According to the Italian law, it belongs to the class of Consorzi, where a number of subjects give life to an independent body intended to reach commonly agreed objectives. CREATE was founded in late 1992 with the aim of establishing a stable link between industry and university.
The current partnership of the consortium includes Ansaldo Nucleare SpA, University of Basilicata, University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, University of Naples Federico II, University of Naples Parthenope, and University of Trieste.

Over the years, CREATE has gained vast experience from participation and coordination of more than twenty FP7 and H2020 European projects in the field or robotics and automation.

Since 20 years a collaboration is active between CREATE and PRISMA Lab (Projects of Industrial and Service Robotics Mechatronics and Automation) in DIETI (Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology) at University of Naples Federico II.
The PRISMA team is committed since 35 years to pursuing research in robotics and automation, and is internationally recognized in the community for their achievements on industrial and service robotics.

The RAs will work with the Medical Robotics Team of the PRISMA group within the project “EndoTheranostics — Multi-sensor Eversion Robot Towards Intelligent Endoscopic Diagnosis and Therapy”. The EndoTheranostics project is one of 37 projects selected for funding from 395 proposals in the ERC Synergy Grant 2022 call, the only one to be funded on robotics.

Project description

EndoTheranostics is a multidisciplinary research project that will revolutionise the theranostics of colorectal cancer (CRC), impacting the quality of life of millions of individuals.

CRC represents a significant proportion of malignant diseases. Interventions are often carried out during the latter stages of development, leading to low patient survival rates and poor quality of life. In 2022 a European Commission report stated that “colonoscopy-based screening has higher sensitivity than testing for blood in stool, but it is less acceptable to participants”. At the same time, effective methods to treat polyps in the colon are limited. Current approaches are often associated with unsafe oncological margins and high complication rates, requiring life-changing surgery.

EndoTheranostics will usher in a new era for screening colonoscopy, advancing the frontiers of medical imaging and robotics. A tip-growing or eversion robot with a sleeve-like structure will be created to extend deep into hollow spaces while perceiving the environment through multimodal imaging and sensing. It will also act as a conduit to transfer miniaturised instruments to the remote site within the colon for diagnosis and therapy (theranostics). With these capabilities, the system will be able to offer:
• painless colon cleansing in preparation for endoscopy
• real-time polyp detection and tissue characterisation through AI-assisted multimodal imaging
• effective removal of polyps by conveying a “miniature mobile operating chamber” equipped with microsurgical tools to the target through the lumen of the eversion robot

EndoTheranostics has the ambition to advance the state-of-the-art in robotics recalling basic research to address a problem so ambitious that it cannnot be dealt with by one team alone. A group of four Principal Investigators (PIs) will work together and bring different skills and resources to tackle ambitious research problems.

The candidate will work in Naples under the supervision of Professor Bruno Siciliano, PI for CREATE and Coordinator of PRISMA Lab, and will take advantage of collaborative partnerships with:
• Professor Alberto Arezzo, Department of Surgical Sciences, University of Torino
• Professor Kaspar Althoefer, School of Engineering and Materials Science, Queen Mary University of London
• Professor Sébastien Ourselin, School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences, King’s College London

Project duration: 6 years (July 2024 — June 2030)

Duration of the contract: 2 years, potentially renewable up to the end of the project

Working place: Medical Lab at ICAROS Center & B2R Lab of PRISMA Team

Salary: From 38.000 € up gross per year depending on candidate’s expertise; such amount is higher than Italian fixed-term assistant professors' salary — the project will cover expenses for the research activities related to the offered position (conferences, equipment, etc)

Application deadline: 20 April 2025 — Please email your application to <Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo.> with your CV, a motivation letter and at least the names of two references Please include in cc Prof. Bruno Siciliano <Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo.> and Prof. Fanny Ficuciello <Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo.>.

LA PROF.SSA LAURA CELENTANO HA ORGANIZZATO LA FIRST LEGO LEAGUE CHALLENGE CON LA SPSB – AUTOMAZIONE E ROBOTICA CAPOFILA NELL’ORIENTAMENTO ALLE STEM E ALLE DISCIPLINE DELLA SPSB

È stato un evento molto emozionante e coinvolgente!

Vedere ragazzi anche di 10 anni, ospiti educati ed entusiasti, nella sede storica di Piazzale Tecchio, impegnati a presentare i loro progetti scientifici, i mockup colorati illustrativi delle loro idee, i loro prototipi robotizzati realizzati con i Lego, pieni di sensori e attuatori, e comandati con linguaggi a blocchi, e a competere con allegria e spirito di squadra nell’esecuzione di missioni robot game divertenti, ma profondamente educative, è stato un inno alla scienza, all’automazione e alla robotica…

Ringrazio sinceramente il Professor Siciliano per la sua partecipazione autorevole ed entusiasta all’evento e gli splendidi rappresentanti del nostro gruppo, che hanno seguito i ragazzi prima della challenge con eventi formativi e durante la competizione come giudici ed arbitri.

Tale evento è stato pionieristico di un nuovo tipo di orientamento alle STEM e, di riflesso, alle discipline della SPSB.

Ecco i preziosi elementi di novità.

• Si coinvolgono ragazzi anche molto più giovani rispetto agli studenti dell’ultimo anno delle scuole secondarie di II grado.
• I docenti della SPSB tengono seminari interattivi in presenza su temi scientifici ancillari a quello della competizione.
• I ragazzi vengono stimolati a proporre un’idea scientifica e tecnologica che possa fornire un contributo fattibile su una tematica scientifica di grande impatto sociale, ambientale e tecnologico.
• Mediante un lavoro creativo, e allo stesso tempo rigoroso, i ragazzi sviluppano l’idea proposta e forniscono una sua realizzazione prototipale facendo esperienze dirette di problem solving, progettazione e programmazione.
• I partecipanti alla competizione esemplificano il funzionamento e l’utilità di tali prototipi mediante delle applicazioni concrete – missioni robot game.
• Durante la challenge si fornisce un breve orientamento agli studi di Architettura, Ingegneria, Scienze Matematiche, Fisiche e Naturali.

Insomma, i ragazzi, i loro docenti e le loro famiglie toccano con mano le potenzialità delle STEM ed i luoghi fisici e culturali in cui poterle coltivare al meglio!
