As part of the World Economic Forum in Davos, researchers and students from the ZHAW, together with partners, presented a diverse selection of robot systems in public spaces. The demonstrations highlighted what today’s robotics can achieve and where the technological limits lie. The focus was on specific applications and the question of how robots can be used in the physical world in the future.
The activities were part of the preparations for the Davos Tech Summit, which will take place from 1 to 4 July 2026 and will link practical perspectives on robotics and physical AI in research, business and society.
