Advisors

Marco Hutter

Marco is Assistant Professor for Robotic Systems at ETH Zurich. He is passionate about developing mobile robots and their intelligence to conduct some of the dirty and dangerous work. Since 2013, Marco and his team are working on robotic building construction technologies for example for drilling, plastering, excavation, masonry, or bricklaying.
Marco likes dogs – real and robotic ones.
