28 Graduate Programs in Robotics part4 Switzerland
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
"The Institute of Robotics"
ETH offers a Postgrad diploma in Mechatronics.
The Institute of Robotics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
(ETH) constitutes about 40 members of staff (including Ph.D.
students). The main research theme is Intelligent Interactive
Mechines. That is to say developing intelligent robots that in
cooperation with man solves difficult tasks. The institute takes its
students from the departments of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical
Engineering and Computer Science. Robotics lectures and project work
is offered to undergraduate students. In addition there is the
"Nachdiplom" in mechatronics (somewhere near a M.Sc.) where robotics
is a central theme. For further details on the "Nachdiplom" see below.
Finally there are about 30 Ph.D. students curently registered working
on a variety of themes and projects. Institute facilities include:
several different robot arms including the in house developed modular
robot arm (MODRO), mobile vehicles including the in house developed
modular mobile robot, walking machines, supercomputing facilities,
dedicated vision and signal processing hardware, etc.
The head of the group is Professor G. Schweitzer.

The "Nachdiplom" in mechatronics runs over two semesters plus three
months project/thesis work. The lectures covers: robotics, mobile
robotics, micro robots, computer based kinematics and dynamics of
multibody systems, control theory, magnetic bearings, real time
software techniques, information processing with neural networks,
computer vision, and artificial intelligence. The fees are 2400,-
