Detlef Günther (2nd from left) and Dr. Thomas Rothacher (2nd from right) sign the agreement on the 'Safety Robotics' program on December 8, 2022. ETH Zurich and armasuisse Science and Technology are launching a joint security robotics programme. Over the course of five years, armasuisse will be investing 2.5 million Swiss francs in selected research projects. ETH Zurich and armasuisse Science and Technology (S+T) - the centre of technology at the Swiss Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport (DDPS) - are already working closely together on various projects. These include the four-legged ANYmal robot, which in the future could be used for search and rescue operations in disaster areas. Then there is a driverless walking digger for dangerous clearance work and drones for detecting radioactive material. The two partners are now expanding their collaboration through a joint security robotics programme.
