Step into the future of robotics
Smarter, Faster, More Adaptive!
Funded by the European Union, TORNADO is developing a next-generation cloud robotics platform that empowers autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to operate in complex, human-populated indoor environments. These intelligent robots will feature advanced navigation, adapt in real time, and handle small, soft, and deformable objects with exceptional precision.
