Everyone, guess how fast is it?
Researchers built an insect-sized robot that uses surface water and collapsable propellers as an idea to improve fast-moving machines that can operate in rivers or flooded areas.

Blackworms inspire collective behaviors for new robotic platform
A robotic hand developed at EPFL can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming.

Unitree H1 Deep Reinforcement Learning In-place Flipping Parameters: Weight: about 50kg Height: about 1.8m Actuator: electric motor
Researchers at EPFL’s Neuroengineering Laboratory, led by Pavan Ramdya, aim to replicate the workings of the brain of the common fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. We spoke with Ramdya about the exciting prospects for robotics.
Feature was just developed in the past few days and hasn't been rolled out to customers yet.
[full-size humanoid] Evolution V3.0
In this episode, we explore an innovative prosthesis driven by the nervous system that helps people with amputations walk naturally and discover how this cutting-edge technology is transforming mobility and enhancing the quality of life for amputees by restoring a natural gait.

A new surgical procedure gives people more neural feedback from their residual limb. With it, seven patients walked more naturally and navigated obstacles.
In this episode, we discuss a breakthrough from ETH Zurich to mimic natural foot signals to the brain using state of the art neuroprosthetics.
