University of Zurich, Department of Informatics

The University of Zurich's Robotics and Perception Group's mission is to develop autonomous machines that can navigate all by themselves using only on-board cameras, without relying on external infrastructures, such as GPS or motion capture systems. Our interests encompass both ground and micro flying robots, as well as multi-robot systems consisting of the combination of these two. We do not want our machines to be passive, but active, in that they should react to and navigate within their environment so as to gain the best knowledge from it.
