Our Team
Meet SAFiR Lab researchers and students.
Our mission is to enable the widespread use of intelligent robots to serve society, by enabling them to better understand their environment and react optimally to a variety of situations.
Our research covers several key areas:
- Inspection and Maintenance: Improving the sustainability of critical infrastructures through monitoring missions on power lines, dams and aeronautical structures.
- Safety and Surveillance: Contributing to search and rescue missions, driver assistance, space exploration, and monitoring of events such as forest fires, floods and avalanches.
- Conservation: Ensuring the preservation of ecosystems by monitoring endangered and invasive species, as well as mapping forests, seabeds and glaciers.
Recruiting
We are recruiting interns, MSc, PhD and post-doctoral students with a passion for field robotics and machine learning, to work on high-impact applied projects.
