A spin-off from EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne) has developed an exoskeleton that enables people with paralyzed hands to grasp and release objects again. Tests in hospitals and rehabilitation centers have already been successful.

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.

Pioneering micro-surgery: At the University Hospital in Zurich, a patient was given the finest connections between lymph vessels and veins - by robot.

Tiny structures allow a newly created material to collect drinkable water from the air day and night, combining two water collection technologies into one.

Researchers have succeeded in evoking tangible but invisible presences in Parkinson's patients with the help of a robot.

Microchips are becoming smaller and smaller: hard drives write entire encyclopedias on discs the size of a fingernail. Many processes take place at the atomic level - and little is known about them. Now PSI researchers have reached a milestone.

Bad news for burglars: Researchers have developed a special membrane that can be used to create invisible keypads. People who know that it’s there can use it to enter their building access code.

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.

With the help of electrodes implanted in the brain, a paralysed ALS patient has regained a simple form of communication ability. A computer decodes letters from his brain signals.

There is a new app that uses 360-degree images shot by drones to help people overcome their fear of heights.
