Imagine a robot that can autonomously monitor a factory, effortlessly navigate stairs, and open doors ¡ª meet Milo, developed by ETH spin-off Swiss-Mile. Combining AI with advanced robotics, it boasts a wide range of applications.

Researchers from ETH Zurich and the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences have developed a novel solution for heat pumps. Using this new approach, companies can generate carbon-free process heat at temperatures of up to 200 degrees Celsius while also drastically reducing the number of different heat pumps required.

Emissions from the construction industry can only be reduced if there is a shift in mindset from replacing to repairing. However, many buildings are not designed to be repaired. Together with industry partners such as Basler & Hofmann, ETH has developed a new further education programme that provides the tools for sustainable building construction.
