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 […]
Four SNSF Advanced Grants go to ETH Zurich researchers
Four ETH Zurich professors have been awarded SNSF Advanced Grants, receiving a total of 8.5 million CHF over five years. These grants, ranging from 1.9 to 2.7 million CHF per recipient, support top researchers and were introduced as a temporary measure after Switzerland lost access to ERC funding. This is the final round of SNSF […]
Launch of the Swiss Robotics Association
Two Swiss universities are launching the Swiss Robotics Association (SRA) at the Robotics Day in Basel tomorrow.
The SRA aims to promote Switzerland as a global leader in robotics innovation and build interactions within the Swiss robotics ecosystem, serve as a networking hub.
