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.

The aim of this project consists in the development, integration and testing of a new self-stressed protective envelope specifically designed and optimized for integration on ASIO drone, currently produced and marketed by the company Flybotix.
The Haute école du paysage, d’ingénierie et d’architecture de Genève (hepia) is attached to the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Western Switzerland (HES-SO). The research activities of its Institute for Industrial Sciences and Technologies are developed in the fields of mechanical engineering and microengineering.
Flybotix keeps humans out of confined space with a safe drone solution, advanced software to visually inspect, digitalize and analyze confined space data without human entry – 24 minutes of visual inspection in the field.
