The Innovation Booster Robotics was active from 2021 to 2025 as a Swiss initiative supported by Innosuisse. This website is its legacy page. Throughout its duration, the Booster created and strengthened a national community fostering an open innovation culture in robotics. It brought together key players across academia, industry, startups, and public stakeholders to explore new ideas, catalyze collaborations, and accelerate technology transfer and innovation.
Although the Innovation Booster Robotics program has concluded, our mission continues through the Swiss Robotics Association (SRA), a standalone initiative dedicated to serving as a national networking hub for robotics stakeholders across Switzerland and fostering long-term collaboration, visibility, and impact.

We are a team of passionate individuals who want to connect robotics stakeholders with one another.
The inspection of a wind turbine lightning protection system is tough. The Voliro T robot can perform this inspection faster than anyone else. We want to further increase the safety and efficiency by automating the final approach and measurement.
Ascento has developed a robot-as-a-service security solution that can patrol outdoors properties and alert guards when anomalies are detected. Being all-weather and all-terrain, the solution can help anyone needing outdoor patrols above 8h/day.
The project proposes a soft skin patch with a robotic actuator for bio-inspired texture assessment, enabling rapid product development and technology transfer to the Swiss Industry.
This project develops a system to collect and passively filter water based environmental DNA samples autonomously from a UAV.
