Flyability
Flyability in a Swiss company building safe drones for indoors operation, in complex and confined spaces, and in contact with people. By allowing drones to be used safely inside cities, inside buildings, and in contact with people, we enable new interactions and services with UAVs, solving the two most critical issues of one of the fastest growing industries: damage and injury risks associated with collisions
Force Dimension
Force Dimension is a Swiss company that specialises in advanced force-feedback (haptic) technology. Established in 2001, Force Dimension develops and supplies dedicated haptic hardware and software solutions for both commercial and research applications. The company also provides technology integration assistance and technical support to its partners and customers worldwide. Through industrial partnerships and licensing agreements, Force Dimension haptics technology is used in a wide range of products, including consumer electronics (Novint Falcon), surgical robotics (Hansen Medical Sensei Robotic System), medical simulation (Medaphor Trans-Abdominal Ultrasound Simulator) and industrial teleoperation (Vulcan Engineering Tactile System VTS).
Henschel Robotics
An easy to use Servomotor
Intento
Intento earned multiple awards including the prestigious Swiss Medtech Award 2016 and was ranked in the TOP 100 Swiss Startups 2016.
MagnebotiX
MagnebotiX was formed in Q2 2014 as a spinoff of the Multiscale Robotics Laboratory (MSRL) of the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent System (ETH Zurich). Our team of researchers and engineers in Zurich develops and produces magnetic manipulation systems, including magnetic field generators and micromagnetic agents, for both fundamental and applied research. Taking advantage of the transmission of both power and guidance through applied magnetic fields, our systems provide wireless tools to accomplish challenging micromanipulation tasks. They are also used as untethered mechanical probes in otherwise inaccessible places and for targeted cargo delivery in minimally invasive biological studies.
Our magnetic field generator: Developed at MSRL, the solenoid-based MFG system is capable of generating a wide variety of static or time-varying magnetic fields. Any combination of magnetic fields and field gradients can be produced at frequencies up to several hundred Hertz. With appropriate microagents the MFG-100 can produce forces or torques with 5 degrees-of -freedom, or activate locomotion modes as diverse as field gradient response, stick -slip or rolling motions, and flagellar swimming.
We also produce the RodBot, a wireless, mobile, rod-shaped microrobot that is guided and powered by an externally applied magnetic field. When it rolls in a low Reynolds number environment it generates fluid flow with a rising component ahead and a travelling vortex above itself. Using this flow pattern RodBots can select and transport micro-objects in a completely non-contact manner – the RodBot moves the liquid environment, and the object follows the flow. One application is for the harvesting of delicate protein crystals, where the RodBot technology increases the success rate and allows automation.
Perspective Robotics
Perspective Robotics AG is a Zurich based company which creates cutting edge technological tools to enable new forms of visual storytelling. We are a team of enthusiastic roboticists and engineers, building a socially responsible way to capture aerial perspectives. The core algorithms of our products were developed and refined over the course of three years of PhD work at the Flying Machine Arena at ETH Zurich, Switzerland.
ROB Technologies
Automating the non-standard
This allows an efficient operation of industrial service robots in the field of non-standard individual fabrication of high-quality products, as well as the automated production of small batch sizes.
Depending on the application robots can be controlled 1) directly via pre-existing CAD-data, 2) via a graphical user interface, or 3) via direct manual manipulation.
Through this approach, individual and specific process know-how of the operator can be integrated directly into the automatic fabrication process.
Our Technology can be applied to wide range of different fabrication scales. Our solutions encompass deburring and chamfering of parts, application of gluing paths, but also large scale robotic construction, like the assembly of individual timber wall modules or the robotic assembly of non-standard brick façade elements.
SensArs Neuroprosthetics
The sensorised sole sends the tactile information from the foot to the external controller, which transduces it in stimulation instructions received by the implantable stimulator to inject current in the peripheral nerves by means of the intraneural electrodes.
SENSY IP is covered by two pending patents.
The working principle of SENSY has been tested on three upper limb amputees. Currently, SensArs is focusing on proving the working principle of the device on lower limb amputees, which represent the first addressable market for the company. A clinical trial with lower limb amputees will start soon.
Once SENSY is on the market, lower limb amputees will contact their medical doctor to evaluate the possibility of receiving our product.
Sensefly
Safe, ultra-light and easy to use, these highly automated data collection tools are employed by customers around the world in fields such as surveying, agriculture, GIS, industrial inspection, mining and humanitarian aid.
senseFly was founded in 2009 by a team of robotics researchers and quickly became the industry leader in mapping drones. Today we continue to lead the way in developing situationally aware systems that help professionals make better decisions.
