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 […]
