Marco Hutter received the Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from the ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland. He is an Assistant Professor for Robotic Systems with ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland. Marco is part of the National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) Robotics and NCCR Digital Fabrication and PI in various international projects (e.g., EU Thing) and challenges (e.g., DARPA SubT). His research interests include the development of novel machines and actuation concepts together with the underlying control, planning, and machine learning algorithms for locomotion and manipulation.
Prof. Hutter’s work has been recognized with a number of awards and prestigious grants such as the Branco Weiss Fellowship, ETH medal, IEEE/RAS Early Career Award or ERC Starting Grant.
ANYmal in the wild
ANYmal in the wild
There has be a tremendous progress in the field of legged robots in last couple of years that led to systems that are skilled and mature enough for real-world deployment. In particular, quadrupedal robots have reached a level of mobility to navigate complex environments, which enables them to take over inspection or surveillance jobs in place like industrial plants, in underground areas, or on construction sites. The latest developments advances enables them to traverse challenging natural terrains, making them useful helpers for environmental monitoring. In this talk, I will present our research work with the quadruped ANYmal and explain some of the underlying technologies for locomotion control, environment perception, and autonomy. I will show how these robots can learn to traverse very complex terrain they face in natural habitats, how they can navigate and explore unknown environments and how they are able to conduct monitoring scenarios.
