How do robots move? How do robots learn? Robots are highly specialised machines that solve problems in various areas for us. ETH Zurich conducts research in robotics, and its spin-offs turn robots into marketable products. A wide range of disciplines are involved - from mechanical and electrical engineering and computer science to medicine and agricultural sciences. The diverse world of robotics can be experienced interactively on the «Digital Platform».
