Roboa

RoBoa - The robotic revolution to save disaster victims and inspect confined spaces! Disaster relief efforts, for example, after earthquakes, lack technological solutions to quickly find and save victims trapped under debris. In industrial settings, human entry for inspection and maintenance is dangerous, while existing solutions struggle in winding, cluttered, sharp, or slippery environments. RoBoa overcomes these limitations with its cutting-edge, snake-like robot and goes where no humans or other robots can go! The modular robot combines growing-based locomotion with remarkable maneuverability, environment perception, and the possibility to supply liquids. RoBoa’s robotic innovation will transform disaster relief missions to save lives and inspect industrial pipes, sewers, and tanks safely. We are happy to discuss your potential application - contact us for more information!

Swiss-Mile

Swiss-Mile, a deep tech spin-off from ETH Zurich, collects insights and eases labor by connecting AI with the physical world using autonomous machines. Mobile robots have vast potential, but many lack the ability to effectively navigate obstacles, move over large distances, and carry significant loads. Moreover, their reasoning capabilities often limit widespread adoption. Therefore, we introduce AI-driven wheeled-legged robots to bridge this gap. Our patented design combines the best of wheels and legs, allowing the transport of payloads and sensors across vast distances, even on challenging terrains. As AI advances in interpreting online content, we anticipate AI systems requiring versatile embodiments and real-world reasoning, exemplified by our robot and its autonomy in dynamic urban settings. Furthermore, we go beyond technology, integrating customer-centered services into our offerings.

Serenity consists of ten highly motivated undergraduate students specializing in mechanical and electrical engineering. We are supported by Prof. Dr. Marco Hutter and experienced tutors from the Robotics Systems Lab. We want to continue the legacy of pioneering space projects such as Spacehopper and Spacebok which have been greatly supported by the Euorpean Space Agency (ESA). We want to develop a versatile platform for future extraterrestrial exploration on the moon. We envision an easily deployable robotic system capable of withstanding significant impacts and navigating challenging terrains. Our robot will be able to fall from great heights, making deployments cheaper and more successful. The robot adapts to various mission objectives, for example the exploration of lunar caves. These caves are believed to harbor valuable resources like ice and provide protection from radiation, dust, meteorites and temperature fluctuations. If we want to stay at the moon, we first must explore the lunar caves, which could be ideal for future human habitats.

Equilibrio consists of motivated bachelor students from ETH Zürich in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and from ZHAW in Systems Engineering. Supported by Prof. Marco Hutter and experienced tutors from the Robotic Systems Lab, we work together as an interdisciplinary team to develop an innovative robotic system. Our goal is to build a robotic unicycle capable of driving not only on flat ground but also on uneven terrain. The robot will feature a wheel as its base, a linear drive system that enables it to jump and overcome obstacles, hip joints for dynamic balancing, and an upper body with arms to further stabilize and control its motion. Equipped with sensors, it will be able to perceive its environment and showcase autonomous behavior. We see this challenge as both a unique learning opportunity and the creation of a novel research platform. By combining efficiency, agility, and compactness, Equilibrio pushes the boundaries of mobile robotics. We plan to demonstrate these capabilities at the Focus Rollout in May 2026.
