Short description of the organization

CREATE was founded on late 1992 by ABB‐Ricerca and Università degli Studi di Reggio Calabria with the aim of establishing a stable link between industry and university. Afterwards the partnership was integrated with Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II (UNINA), Università degli Studi di Cassino e del Lazio Meridionale (UNICAS), Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli (SUN), and Ansaldo Ricerche. Further to the above universities, CREATE has cooperation agreements with Università degli Studi della Basilicata (UNIBAS) and Università degli Studi di Salerno (UNISA). The present activities of CREATE include:

  • Computational electromagnetism and applications
  • Non‐destructive evaluation
  • Nuclear fusion technology
  • Robotics, automation and control engineering
  • Superconducting magnets technology; Information technology.

Role in the project and main tasks

CREATE will contribute mainly to WP3 (aerial robotic manipulator
control).

Relevant previous experience

CREATE is currently engaged in the FP7 project SHERPA and EUROC,
it is the host institution for the ERC Advanced Grant RoDyMan awarded to Prof. Bruno Siciliano. The
researchers involved in CREATE are currently engaged in the FP7 projects ARCAS, EUROC, SHERPA
and in the Italian national project MARIS.
