The Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) is pushing the boundaries of robotics with its development of the iRonCub3, a jet-powered humanoid robot designed for complex tasks such as search and rescue and industrial inspections. This project, developed by the Artificial and Mechanical Intelligence Department at IIT, aims to equip humanoid robots with the ability to fly, blending the versatility of humanoid manipulation with aerial mobility capabilities. This could allow robots to reach hard-to-access areas that traditional ground-based robots or drones cannot easily handle.
