DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nDrones are rapidly evolving from experimental proto
 types to useful tools which can be used in several applications across mul
 tiple domains to address real-world challenges. In this talk\, we will exp
 lore how drone technology can be used to benefit humanity\, ranging from m
 ore classical applications – such as search-and-rescue\, precision agric
 ulture\, disaster response\, environmental monitoring – to emerging appl
 ications such as advanced air mobility\, transport of passengers\, and hea
 lthcare logistics\, up to advanced research on aerial robotics of novel ap
 plications involving interaction between drone\, environment\, and humans 
 to improve safety of workers. We will highlight the unique role of univers
 ity spin-offs in driving innovation by bridging universities\, research gr
 oups\, and industry partners\, to design custom solutions. Moreover\, we w
 ill emphasize the educational potential of drones\, which serve as flexibl
 e and multidisciplinary platforms to enable transition from theory to prac
 tice and to support hands-on learning\, by training the next generation of
  engineers and scientists.\n\nShort bio\n\nSimone Panza got a BSc in Compu
