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 […]

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 […]
