ANTHEM is a research initiative funded with 123 million euros by the Ministry of University and Research through the "National Plan for complementary investments to the European Recovery and Resilience Plan. The research activities aim to introduce innovative technologies into diagnostic and therapeutic processes in healthcare to improve the quality of life of fragile and chronic patients or those affected by pathologies that are still without any therapy.

ANTHEM involves 9 universities, 3 research centers, 6 large hospitals and 5 companies distributed across 7 Italian regions. The research activities are divided into four macro-areas called Spokes, each dedicated to specific pathologies and territorial communities in order to maximize and accelerate the impact of research on people. Researchers work on 28 pilot projects that aim to produce concrete effects in a short time. The mission is to quickly make new diagnostic tools and new therapies available to patients. For this reason, in some cases, we work on technologies already available in other technological fields, ready to be transferred to the medical field.

MOST – National Centre for Sustainable Mobility, through collaboration with 24 universities, National Research Center (CNR) and 24 large companies, has the mission of implementing modern, sustainable and inclusive solutions for the entire national territory. This research initiative is funded with 378 million euros by the Ministry of University and Research through the European Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR).

The areas and technological fields of greatest interest in the project are: air mobility, sustainable road vehicles, water transport, rail transport, light vehicles and active mobility. The National Center will take care of making the mobility system more "green" as a whole and more "digital" in its management. It will do so through lightweight solutions and electric and hydrogen propulsion systems; digital systems for the reduction of accidents; more effective solutions for public transport and logistics; a new model of mobility, as a service, accessible and inclusive.

The Spoke 5 is devoted to Light and Active Mobility through the development of innovative solutions for vehicles and mobility systems.

ANT-X is a spin-off company of Politecnico di Milano. It was founded in early 2020 on the basis of the experience gained by its co-founders within the Aerospace Systems and Control Laboratory of the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology.

ANT-X provides laboratory solutions for research and education in multi-agent systems, flight robotics, flight control and aerospace control. The ANT-X educational drones are designed for students and researchers, to enable transition from theory to practice of advanced design methods for guidance, navigation, and control systems. They are based on open-source software and allow the user to customize the drone platform to implement, simulate, and flight test novel guidance and control algorithms. This enriches the experience in flight robotics and UAV control through hands-on experimental activities.
Based on the experience gathered through the years in research and education about guidance, navigation and control of UAVs, ANT-X can provide educational material as a support to lecturers, based on state-of-the-art analysis and design methods. The ANT-X laboratory solutions are designed focusing on the need for ready to use and customizable platforms for research and education.

In addition, ANT-X designs and builds custom drone solutions tailored to specific industrial applications.
Based on the experience gathered as a university laboratory in the research area of guidance, navigation and control of UAVs, ANT-X has the competences needed to carry out the entire process of design, prototyping, integration, and flight testing of custom UAV platforms both for scientific research and for industrial applications.
