Safe intubation thanks to artificial intelligence and robotics
TechTransfer
ETH Zurich
The ETH spin-off aiEndoscopic has developed a device that should make intubation easier and safer in the future. It combines artificial intelligence and robotics.
Mori3: a polygon shapeshifting robot for space travel
Research
EPFL
Jamie Paik and her team of researchers at EPFL’s School of Engineering have created an origami-like robot that can change shape, move around and interact with objects and people.
Researchers unveil first Chat-GPT-designed robot
Research
EPFL
EPFL researchers have used Chat-GPT-3 to develop a robotic gripper for harvesting tomatoes, in a first demonstration of the artificial intelligence tool’s potential for collaborating with humans on robot design.
Diving robot for dangerous operations
TechTransfer
ETH Zurich
Divers are often put at considerable risk when searching for people or objects underwater. The ETH spin-off Tethys has developed an underwater robot that can be used in situations that are too dangerous for human divers.
How to make self-folding surgical tools
Research
ETH Zurich
For minimally invasive surgery, the instruments used must be small. ETH Zurich researchers have now developed a method to transport large devices through a narrow catheter. This expands the possibilities for designing minimally invasive surgical tools.
Robotic system offers hidden window into collective bee behaviour
Research
EPFL
EPFL researchers have developed a temperature-modulating robotic system that can be seamlessly integrated into notoriously sensitive honeybee hives, providing both a never-before-seen view of honeybee behaviour and a means to influence it.
