On 28 April, the historic halls of Palazzo Bo in Padua hosted the 1st International Safety Workshop, a landmark event dedicated to exploring how emerging technologies are shaping the future of workplace safety. Organised by the ICEA Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile Edile e Ambientale and the Dipartimento di Ingegneria Industriale (DII) of the University of Padua, the workshop coincided with the World Day for Safety and Health at Work.
The event brought together academic experts, industry leaders, and institutional representatives to discuss the critical interplay between innovation and worker protection in modern industrial settings.
Among the key contributors was Gerotto, who shared its field experience through a presentation titled:“The Future of Industrial Safety: Remote-Controlled Robots in High-Risk Environments.”
The talk highlighted the advancements in no-man entry robotic systems used for industrial cleaning, and their increasing integration with artificial intelligence and sophisticated sensor technologies.
Gerotto’s presentation sparked strong engagement and discussion around the potential for technology to serve as a powerful ally in ensuring safety—facilitating more effective interaction between machines, workspaces, and human operators.
Participation in the workshop reinforced Gerotto’s commitment to bridging the gap between academic research and industrial practice. The company continues to focus on transforming innovative concepts into practical solutions that enhance safety for those operating in challenging and hazardous environments.
This inaugural event marked a significant step forward in fostering collaboration between academia and industry, and in charting a path toward safer, technology-enhanced workplaces worldwide.
