Laboratory of Intelligent Systems

The Laboratory of Intelligent Systems directed by Prof. Dario Floreano explores future avenues of artificial intelligence and robotics at the convergence of biology and engineering, humans and machines.

Our fields of activity span:

Aerial Robotics

We take inspiration from nature for the design, learning and control of agile drones that can fly in cluttered environments and in swarms.

Wearable Robotics

We investigate and develop novel soft wearable robots for natural interactions between humans and robots.

Nontoxic, variable-stiffness threads for dexterous cardiac catheters

NewsEPFL

Engineers at EPFL and ETH developed a variable stiffness catheter made of nontoxic threads that can transition between soft and rigid states during surgery. It may make minimally invasive surgical interventions, including the treatment of cardiac arrhythmia, simpler and more effective.

“We had to find a system that could be integrated easily”
