We are the Robotics and AI Institute (RAI Institute), a research-driven organisation dedicated to advancing the foundations and applications of robotics and artificial intelligence. From our Zurich location, we focus on long-horizon, high-impact research that bridges fundamental science and real-world deployment. We operate at the intersection of robotics, machine learning and embodied intelligence, creating an environment where ambitious research ideas can mature into robust, scalable technologies.
We offer...
Advancing core research in robotics and artificial intelligence, with emphasis on embodied AI, learning-based control and intelligent autonomous systems.
Creating long-term research programmes that allow researchers to tackle complex, open-ended problems beyond the constraints of short project cycles.
Building strong links between research, education and real-world impact by collaborating closely with academic institutions and industrial partners.
Supporting researchers and students by providing access to advanced infrastructure, interdisciplinary expertise and an international research network.
We are looking for...
Researchers and students who want to work on fundamental and applied challenges in robotics and AI within a high-ambition research environment.
Academic partners interested in joint research initiatives, shared supervision and knowledge exchange.
Industrial collaborators seeking to engage with cutting-edge robotics and AI research with a clear path toward long-term technological impact.
