The opening of the "DroneHub" in Empa's NEST research building marks the start of a new era for autonomous robotics. Next-generation drones and robots are being developed here to repair damage to buildings, monitor ecosystems and advance sustainable

Empa and EPFL will work together in future to develop robotics for sustainability and environmental monitoring. A drone aviary at NEST offers an ideal test environment in which innovative technologies can be tested under realistic

Researchers from the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Testing and Research (Empa) and Imperial College London are expanding the range of applications for drones. Together, they are developing a heat-resistant drone that fire brigades can use for fire

A kind of aviary for research on drones is to be built on the NEST research and innovation building of the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Testing and Research. This DroneHub will be used as a permanent, realistic test environment for various

Automatisierung durch Robotik kommt in der Baubranche immer öfter zum Einsatz – und zwar vor, während als auch nach der Bauzeit. Drohnen werden für unterschiedliche Zwecke eingesetzt: für realitätsgetreue Visualisierungen, für baubezogene Arbeiten oder für bautechnische Inspektionen. Die
