Over the past two weeks, Prof. Dr. Robert Katzschmann has embarked on an academic tour, visiting several prestigious universities across the United States. During these visits, he has delivered talks on cutting-edge topics such as musculoskeletal robotics, medical innovation, and advanced robotic fabrication, while engaging in insightful lab visits, demonstrations, and discussions with students, researchers, and faculty members.

The ANGIE research project was honored with the «Prototypes for Humanity Award» in the «Health» category. At the Multi-Scale Robotics Lab of the D-MAVT, Fabian Landers and his team are developing magnetically controlled microcapsules that precisely release drugs in the human body.

Researchers at ETH Zurich, led by Prof. Robert Katzschmann, have pioneered a biofabrication technique for creating 3D cardiac tissues that closely replicate native myocardial tissue. By controlling the directionality and density of cardiac cells in 3D tissues, we’re setting new standards for cardiac biofabrication. This could have transformative applications in regenerative medicine and biohybrid robotic system.

We’re excited to share our latest research, presented at CoRL 2024, on an open-source autonomous aerial manipulation platform capable of grasping objects using onboard perception only. This innovative system, designed for real-world applications, demonstrates high success rates and adaptability without relying on external tracking.

We are excited to be part of the rtFIN2024 in Heidelberg, where we’re gaining exciting insights about the latest neurofeedback research. Lena Salzmann and Manabu Rohr-Fukuma had the pleasure of presenting their work on DBS-based neurofeedback in Parkinson’s disease. Dominik Wyser is happy to showcase the latest developments from optohive. A big thank you to the organziers and fellow researchers for an inspiring event!

We are excited to announce that our EDX MOOC course Microrobotics is now online and open for public enrolment! The online course is updated every Tuesday and Thursday, and will end on December 24th, 2024. Join us now to embark on an incredible journey into the world of microrobots!

Here's to everyone who made CYBATHLON 2024 a success! We're proud of our RELab ETH Zürich team's contributions, from leading disciplines to organizing awards.

Last week, we were delighted to welcome a delegation from Singapore to RELab ETH Zürich, as part of their visit to attend the CYBATHLON event. This gathering provided a fantastic opportunity to discuss our vision for implementing rehabilitation technologies along the continuum of care and to celebrate the unique, impactful collaboration with Singapore through the Future Health Technologies Programme at the Singapore-ETH Centre. A big thank you to the entire delegation for an enriching exchange!

In 2025, fourteen remarkable individuals from the fields of science, media, business, and culture will come together at the Thomas Mann House in Los Angeles to address issues related to the annual topic “Across Boundaries.”
