The PRISMA Lab <www.prisma.unina.it> is committed to research in robotics and automation since 30 years at University of Naples Federico II. The team has a track record of successful research projects, mainly at a European level, for a total funding of 12 million € in the last 10 years. This talk is organized in five parts. In the first part, aerial and dynamic manipulation are surveyed along with the main results achieved on modelling, planning, perception and control. The second part of the talk focuses on how to merge learning and model-based strategies to provide autonomy to robotic manipulation. In the third part of the talk, anthropomorphic tools for robotics and prosthetics are presented, requiring advanced sensorimotor skills to reproduce human’s manipulation abilities. The fourth part of the talk deals with human-friendly robots and recent advances on compliant control during interaction with soft tissues with emphasis for a surgical scenario. The final part of the talk is devoted to discuss future perspectives and big challenges of robotics.
