Italy’s public administration takes a step forward in the field of innovation with the introduction of ADRIANO, the first employee robot in a public agency. The project, entirely Italian, was developed thanks to the collaboration between four national excellences in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence, involving a team of more than 30 highly talented engineers, technicians and researchers. An ambitious initiative, which required an investment of 137 thousand euros, becoming a symbol of Italy’s great expertise in technology. 

ADRIANO will be operational from March 24, 2025 at the Temple of Vibia Sabina and Hadrian, in Rome. ADRIANO is not just a classic virtual assistant: equipped with computer vision, artificial muscles and robotic hands, he is able to interact with visitors in a natural and safe way. Its advanced technology allows it to express emotions through a sophisticated system of facial expressions, making communication more engaging.
