NCCR Robotics

We are a Swiss centre funded by SNSF hosted by @EPFL_en & @ETH_en, working to develop new, human-oriented robotic technology for improving our quality of life

[NCCR Robotics @nccrrobotics]

A unique documentary explores how Swiss researchers from major institutions such as @EPFL_en and @ETH_en have teamed up to produce the most groundbreaking #Robotics technologies.

It is now released internationally and made available to all audiences.

THANK YOU!

After 12 years of activity, NCCR Robotics officially ended on 30 November 2022.

It is not the end of the story though: our partner institutions @EPFL_en @ETH_en @UZH_en @unibern @UniBasel_en @USI_en @Empa_CH will continue to collaborate through the @NTN_IB_Robotics, a new program aimed at developing technology transfer activities and maintaining the network

The final moment of the Swiss Robotics Days 2022 combined art and robotics on stage with "E-quiLibre", an emotional performance using an exoskeleton developed by @twiice_official.

+6,500 people visited over the two days, marking the end of NCCR Robotics.

The 2022 edition of the event took place on November 4 & 5 and was an unprecedented success. Visitors at the Palais de Beaulieu in Lausanne witnessed the latest developments in robotics and the many ways in which it impacts industry, health, education and people’s everyday life.
