Rezero is an autonomous ball-balancing robot developed by the Autonomous Systems Lab at ETH Zurich in Zurich, Switzerland. It balances on a single ball and is designed for educational and research purposes in robotics, focusing on dynamic motion control and autonomy. The robot was created as part of an undergraduate project involving 13 students and has been demonstrated at TEDGlobal. It is not a commercial product sold to external buyers but serves as a research platform within ETH Zurich.

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 ETH Zurich.
In Research, Saildrone, HEBI Robotics and NASA have deployment evidence on file.

Why ETH Zurich has been in the news, across 1 outlet, collected and classified independently, so a maker cannot add to it. It never changes a robot's RoboScore (the evidence half of the RoboIndex) and it can move a robot up a board by at most 15 points.
Safety reports
Switzerland sits outside the EU Safety Gate and we have found no national product-incident register covering robots. A blank record here is unmeasured.
