…supporting cleantech ventures, awarded it a financial guarantee. The Zurich-based company said it plans to use the funding to meet growing demand for its inventory-tracking system. “The Technology Fund’s support is important validation that the Verity system does even more than improve employees’ lives and add commercial value,” stated Raffaello D’Andrea, founder and CEO of Verity. “By eliminating errors and supply chain inefficiencies, it also delivers a substantial positive impact to the environment. Reducing waste is critical and urgent, and we are proud to support that effort.” Founded in 2014, Verity said its team includes Kiva Systems (now Amazon Robotics)…

…Founded in 2018, Sevensense Robotics is a spinoff from ETH Zurich and received early support from Wyss Zurich. Headquartered in Zurich and the ETHZ Foundation in Switzerland, the startup employs 25 people. It offers industry-grade 3D simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)-based navigation for all kinds of autonomous service machines, from forklifts to professional cleaning machines. Sevensense said it uses computer vision and AI algorithms to create 3D maps that are more accurate than what today’s 2D systems can produce. It also claimed its technology is more cost-effective than laser scanner-based navigation. Differences between 2D and 3D perception, according to Sevensense.…

…CERBERUS is a collaboration between University of Nevada, Reno; ETH Zurich; Sierra Nevada Corp., the University of California, Berkeley; Flyability; the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU); and the University of Oxford. “Team CERBERUS draws conceptual inspiration from the mythological Cerberus, the three-headed dog protecting the underworld,” said the team in its mission statement. “From a robotics standpoint, we are inspired from the potential of combining two very different modalities of locomotion, namely walking and flying, while simultaneously addressing in a unified manner the perception and navigation challenges.” “In the underground environment, there are so many challenges from lighting…

…sensory feedback from most commercially available prostheses. Researchers at ETH Zurich recently found that artificial neural feedback from a sensorized bionic leg can help users as well as designers of robotic assistive technologies. The scientists conducted their study at the Laboratory for Neuroengineering, which is part of the Department of Health Sciences and Technology's Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Systems at ETH Zurich. They said that sensory data can improve the quality of life and confidence of prosthetics users as they conduct everyday activities such as climbing stairs or walking over ground. The team published its results this week in…
