To avoid falls, the robot switches between walking, trotting and jumping depending on the situation. Researchers at the University of Zurich develop extremely agile drones Researchers at the University of Zurich (UZH) have developed a system that enables flying robots to be very agile. A new type of camera allows autonomous drones to respond much faster than if they were controlled by a human pilot. Researchers develop trunk robot Inspired by elephant trunks, researchers at EPFL have developed a new robot. Because the trunk robot is made of soft, pliable material, it is safe for interaction with humans. Crash-proof drone Researchers in Zurich have developed a drone that does not crash – even if one of its rotors fails. Nimble robot reflexively organises cluttered spaces Instead of starting over after a failed attempt, the pick-and-place robot continuously adapts its behaviour. First microsurgery with robot Pioneering micro-surgery: At the University Hospital in Zurich, a patient was given the finest connections between lymph vessels and veins - by robot. Swiss researchers print self-healing skin for robot Swiss researchers have used a 3D printer to print a skin for a robot that can mend itself after being damaged. Building like bees Swarms of bees as models for drones in construction: Empa has tested drones that work in teams under human control to 3D print materials for building or repairing structures. Aerial water drone hitchhikes An international research team with Empa participation has developed a drone that can glide through water as well as fly through the air. To save energy, it attaches itself to other objects for a ride. Robot on the field At the Swiss Future Farm, the use of innovative technology in agriculture is being tested in a project lasting several years. This also includes a robot for field work.
