No deployment evidence on file
A deployment is recorded when a public source names both the customer and the robot, or the maker confirms it. Nothing here counts against École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.
In Research & Prototype, Saildrone, HEBI Robotics and NASA have deployment evidence on file.
Add a deployment →The AirBurr is an autonomous flying robot developed by the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) in Switzerland. Designed for exploration in constrained, cluttered environments such as caves and collapsed buildings, the robot features a spring-based carbon-fiber cage for collision protection and an active self-recovery system with extendable legs that allow it to right itself after crashes and resume flight. The platform operates with minimal sensing requirements for difficult indoor and outdoor missions.

Products, Range, Traction set the number — the three factors present for every company. Activity, Attention, Readiness describe the brand but never move it. A value we don't have reads —, never zero. Momentum is independently collected news coverage, worth at most 15 points and never a deduction — a maker we have heard nothing about keeps its full RoboScore. Claiming or paying moves nothing.
