NCCR Robotics
NCCR Robotics was a Swiss SNSF research center (2010-2022) led by EPFL and ETH Zurich that produced spin-offs including Flyability and MyoSwiss.
NCCR Robotics, the National Centre of Competence in Research in Robotics, was a Swiss research program funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and active from December 2010 to December 2022. EPFL served as the home institution with ETH Zurich as the co-host institution, bringing together robotics research groups from across Switzerland for twelve years under a single national program.
The center organized its work around robots that operate alongside people, robots addressing disability and rehabilitation, robots for emergency response in disaster environments, and educational robotics for schools. Over its lifespan the program published roughly 500 peer-reviewed journal articles and 500 peer-reviewed conference papers, and its research produced more than a dozen spin-off companies, including ANYbotics (legged mobile robots), Flyability (collision-tolerant inspection drones), MyoSwiss (the Myosuit wearable assistive device), Sevensense (computer-vision navigation for mobile robots), Noonee (industrial exoskeletons), Fotokite and Dronistics (tethered and autonomous delivery drones), Intento (stroke rehabilitation devices), Twiice (a modular exoskeleton for paraplegia), Foldaway (haptic interfaces), FES-ABILITY, and SenArs.
NCCR Robotics concluded its final four-year funding phase and formally ended operations in December 2022.
