NCCR robotics
The external pageNational Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR)call_made Robotics is a nation-wide center, launched by the Swiss National Science Foundation, with the common objective of developing new, human-oriented robotic technology for improving our quality of life.
This center gathers leading robotic experts in Switzerland from cutting-edge research institutions: EPFL as the home institution, ETH Zurich, University of Zurich and Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence. Launched on 1 December 2010, the NCCR Robotics will run for up to twelve years.
The NCCR Robotics brings together Swiss robotic research and aims to generate long-term benefits to society as a whole. Through this website, we would like to establish two-way communication about robotics in Switzerland and abroad with researchers, students, teachers, industries, and the general public.
Rescue Scenario
Our team is part of the external pagerescue scenariocall_made that has the goal to have a heterogeneous team of robots for disaster mitigation. Flying drones are used to map large environments and guide legged ground vehicles to explore the area on ground.
