WRG

Description

The cathedra focuses on the study and integration of robotics and technologies in leisure activities, cultural and sporting offer healthy activities for young people allowing them to develop both physical and mental capabilities. Apply technologies as well as support their activities and content of their own activities.
WRG is a company that offers alternative entertainment to young people seeking their creativity and personal, social and cultural skills through healthy leisure formulas. With this Cathedra the WRG is also involved, according to its principles of Corporate Social Responsibility at enhancing the field of Research at the University, where many young people involved through collaboration in research, financial support and scholarships.
Objective:
Study and development of robotic prototypes and technologies applicable to recreative, culture and sports sector.
Activities:
  1. Investigate the potential for the introduction of robotic prototyping activities Real World Games.
  2. Investigate possibilities for technological platforms and robotic devices.
  3. Development of robotic prototypes with features applicable to the activities of the Company.
  4. Investigate the potential for the introduction of robotic prototyping activities Real World Games.
  5. Investigate possibilities for technological platforms and robotic devices.
  6. Development of robotic prototypes with features applicable to the activities of the Company.
