UZH Robotics and Perception Group

The Robotics and Perception Group is part of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Zurich and the Department of Neuroinformatics, which is a joint institute of the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich.

Our mission is to explore the fundamental challenges of robotics and computer vision that will benefit all of humanity. Our main interest is the development of autonomous machines that can navigate using only on-board cameras and calculations, without relying on external infrastructures such as GPS or position tracking systems or off-board computers. We are primarily interested in microdrones, as they present a greater challenge and offer more research opportunities than ground robots.
