Application procedure

Autonomous Wind Turbine LPS Measurement

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 – Automated Security Patrolling on large outdoor properties

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.

Soft Sensor patch for assessment of product texture

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.

Drone mounted passive water sampling system for autonomous environmental DNA collection

This project develops a system to collect and passively filter water based environmental DNA samples autonomously from a UAV.

La " Swiss Robotics Day " a été une expérience enrichissante. Le forum a fait un excellent travail en réunissant les universitaires et les industriels, grâce à des ateliers attrayants et à des exposés perspicaces sur les technologies suisses de pointe.

Fabien Antonatos,

Co-founder & CBDO, AICA

L'Innovation Booster est une excellente occasion de lancer des idées innovantes dans le domaine de la robotique en Suisse. Bien que le soutien financier par projet soit relativement faible, il permet à une idée d'être validée conceptuellement avec des partenaires industriels et de créer des collaborations fructueuses en vue d'une adoption industrielle et d'autres demandes de financement.

Prof. Mirko Kovač,

Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa)

J'ai eu le privilège de participer aux activités "Innovation Booster Robotics". L'aspect réseau de ces événements a été particulièrement remarquable, car il m'a permis d'entrer en contact avec des personnes d'horizons divers et d'en apprendre davantage sur leurs projets. Cela m'a aidé à affiner mes idées et m'a permis de découvrir de nouvelles perspectives et des solutions innovantes. Dans l'ensemble, les activités "Innovation Booster Robotics" offrent un environnement idéal pour collaborer, réfléchir et donner vie à ses projets.
