POLITO
Politecnico di Torino
IT

Politecnico di Torino was the first Italian Engineering School founded in the wave of the technical and scientific innovation that gave rise to the most prestigious European polytechnic schools in the mid-19th century. Founded as School for Engineers in 1859, it then became Regio Politecnico di Torino in 1906. Engineers, architects, designers and urban planners have been trained at Politecnico di Torino for over 160 years with rigor, integrity and high-level standards.

This long ever-changing history has rated Politecnico among the top European technical Universities for education and research, with 38,700 students and a teaching staff of more than 1,000. 

Polito participates in the project with a team part of the eLiONS (electronic Life-Oriented iNtelligent Systems) research laboratory, Department of Electronics and Telecommunications. Polito leads the development, from the design of the overall architecture to functional validation of the fabricated systems, of the electronic platform and the embedded systems for interfacing with the implantable neural recording/stimulation device and for controlling the exoprosthesis/exoskeletons.
