New implant restores pressure balance after spinal cord injury
A groundbreaking new implant is giving people with spinal cord injuries a chance to regain control over their lives. Developed by EPFL’s Grégoire Courtine and UNIL/CHUV’s Jocelyne Bloch, the system stabilizes blood pressure—a hidden but critical challenge for most SCI patients—through precise neurostimulation of the spinal cord. Participants like Julie and Daniel report renewed energy, […]

Advancing Mobile Robotics: ARM Laboratory’s robots designed for Inspections and Maintenance operations in Harsh Environments
In the demanding world of industrial maintenance, human operators routinely confront hazardous conditions while performing dangerous tasks in confined, elevated, or degraded environments. The maintenance industry requires systems that can reliably operate in such harsh contexts, executing complex operations like detailed inspections, surface treatments, and repairs while preserving human health. The Automation, Robotics, and Machines […]
Robo-Gym. Smart Interface to Accelerate the Human-Robot Teamwork
In many industrial domains, full automation remains either technically infeasible, economically impractical, or too rigid to accommodate the diversity of real-world tasks and objects. In such contexts, cobots provide an attractive alternative, enabling flexible human–robot collaboration in which human adaptability and dexterity complement robotic precision and endurance. The Robo-Gym at SUPSI, developed and coordinated by […]

Rivr’s dog-like robots join Veho vans to solve ‘last-100-yards’ parcel delivery in Austin
Zurich-based robotics startup Rivr and U.S. delivery company Veho are piloting a stair-climbing delivery robot in Austin to tackle the “final 100 yards” of last-mile delivery — from van to doorstep. Starting with one supervised robot making daily runs, the trial aims to address a complex logistical challenge that’s simple for humans but tough for […]
European Robotics – a Unified Vision
euRobotics is pleased to announce the public launch of ‘A Unified Vision for European Robotics’, a new strategy for innovation, growth and societal impact. It sets out the collective vision of the European Robotics community and draws on multiple sources of information from within Europe and beyond.
EPFL launches shape-shifting robot GOAT: A breakthrough in adaptive terrain exploration.
Researchers from EPFL’s CREATE Lab, led by Josie Hughes, have developed GOAT (Good Over All Terrains) — a shape-shifting robot inspired by animals’ adaptability. GOAT can morph between a flat rover and a sphere, allowing it to drive, roll, and swim across various environments. This flexible design enables energy-efficient, versatile locomotion without limbs, setting a […]
