NCCR Robotics
NCCR Robotics is a Swiss national research center that has significantly advanced robotics research and innovation from 2010 to 2022. It developed new generations of robots for wearable, rescue, and educational applications, including prosthetic and orthotic robots, legged and flying rescue robots, and educational robots like Thymio and Cellulo. The center fostered spin-offs that became international leaders, created educational programs to train robotics engineers, and promoted gender balance and public awareness of robotics' societal impact. It published around 1000 peer-reviewed articles, filed about 50 patents, and supported 16 spin-offs, contributing to hundreds of high-tech jobs in Switzerland. Its research breakthroughs include implantable neural devices enabling paralyzed patients to walk, AI-driven prosthetic hands, and advanced drones for inspection and rescue. The center also launched public events like Robotics Festival and Cybathlon, and established ongoing initiatives for robotics education and innovation in Switzerland.
