Robotics has become one of the biggest fields of education and research worldwide. The RobotX initiative at ETH Zurich is committed to provide continued education and training to the young generations of researchers and practitioners. This summer school offers lectures and hands-on tutorials to grasp the fundamental concepts that every roboticist around the world should possess.
This year edition is organized in collaboration with the external page euROBIN network. Thus, the summer school students will be expose to the latest research in robotics in Europe through keynote talks.
The tutorials and hands-on sessions will take place at a dedicated education and training center for search and rescue. You will get the opportunity to program a (semi)-autonomous rough-terrain UGV, to extensively test it in a variety of environments, and finally to challenge your colleagues in a Search and Rescue competition.
The summer school will run alongside the week-long exercise sessions ARCHE (Advanced Robotic Capabilities for Hazardous Environments). A number of research teams from Switzerland and around Europe will join the training site for Legged robots, teleoperated excavators, amphibious vehicles, UAVs and many other robots will be deployed in collapsed, burning or flooded buildings. Specialists from different organizations will share their knowledge.
