Starting from June 2025 in the heart of Turin will open a Shop entirely dedicated to robotsand in particular to robotic dogs. The headquarters will be in via San Secondo, one of the central arteries of the city, and will represent much more than one store: it will be a living laboratorywhere curious, enthusiasts and professionals will be able to observe up close, test and buy The most recent wonders of robotics.
The project was born from the idea of Simone ImmordinoCEO of Robogest and Deriwith the ambition to make Turin a Italian poison of advanced robotics. In the showcase there will be models of Robot dogs capable of interact, patrol, recognize voice commands and even work in complex environments like construction sites or galleries. Next to them, they will also head mechanical spiders And Humanoid robotsall equipped with smart software developed right in Piedmont.
They range from 2,000 to 100,000 euros
But at what price? The basic models, designed for fun and entertainment, will cost about 2,000 euros. Are quadrupeds capable of report objectslike a golf ball, and have already been tested in sports environments. The most sophisticated models, on the other hand, reach the 100,000 euros and are equipped for tasks of surveillance, safety, fire detection And much more. Thanks to thermal sensors, movement and vocal recognition systemsthese robots can also carry out activities in critical environmentsbecoming real Operational assistants.
The production of hardware is entrusted to the Chinese Deep Roboticswith distribution edited by the German Inmotionbut the intelligence is all from Turin: it is in fact deri a realize the software which make these devices autonomous and functional.
Immordino does not hide the cultural objective of the project: the shop will also be one popular spacewhere to promote the Culture of robotics through demo, workshops and educational activities. An opportunity for the city to relaunch itself as capital of innovationwelcoming a strong growth market, which already exceeds The billion euros. And who knows, maybe soon we’ll see robotic dogs walk among the avenues of the city, silent but always connected.
