Oversonic, a Brianza-based benefit corporation founded in 2020, is expanding its RoBee humanoid robot from industrial use into therapeutic applications. The industrial version, priced at €140,000 and on sale since 2024, operates in STMicroelectronics factories and is certified under the Machinery Directive. A smaller healthcare version, priced around €120,000, completed a 28-month trial at Rome's Santa Lucia Foundation assisting stroke and Parkinson's patients with cognitive and motor exercises, with CEO Paolo Denti noting the unexpected benefit that the machine removes 'judgement and shame' from therapy sessions.
