Participants:
AITHON is an aerial robotics project developing a drone capable of performing force
intensive tasks at heights. Our modular drone will allow customers in the construction
industry to reduce their operating costs and extend the life of their structures through
targeted deployments.
Research partner:
AITHON / Autonomous Systems Lab ETH Zürich:
AITHON originated as a student project at ETH Zürich in 2021, where a functional prototype of the idea was successfully developed. AITHON is currently as a research project at ETH Zürich. AITHON is part of the Autonomous Systems Lab (ASL), which is internationally renowned for its research in the realm of robotics.
Implementation partner:
PERI
PERI is an international corporation that has emerged as one of the foremost manufacturers of formwork and scaffolding systems. PERI takes great pride on its cutting edge technology, innovative mindset, and customer-centricity. While the core business of PERI can be found in traditional tasks within the construction industry, the company isn’t afraid to invest into technologies of the future. This is exemplary showcased by PERI being a pioneer in 3D concrete printing.
Armasuisse / Swiss Drone and Robotics Centre
The “Swiss Drone and Robotics Centre” is part of Armasuisse and supports the Swiss Army.
It is the Swiss authority for questions regarding drone and robot technology and its
significance for national security. Furthermore, it hosts the ARCHE (Advanced Robotic
Capabilities for Hazardous Environments), a testing week, which serves to assess the
technological maturity and applicability of Swiss robotics for disaster relief.
