The mechanical engineer heads the Center for Robotics at ETH Zurich (ETH RobotX) and has been working with moving machines for a long time. For this Master\u2019s thesis in 2009, he built a small robot that could jump. It was later joined by a four-legged friend, who initially ran \u201cmore badly than well\u201d, as he recalls. That\u2019s all in the past: the robots from the RobotX innovation centre have long been climbing over obstacles.

Even in the early days, Hutter used machine learning to programme the robots. But a<br \/>great deal has happened since then. Today, the robots are controlled by neural networks. A robot that learns how to move over complex obstacles in a virtual simulation can then do the same in the real world. Autonomy has also improved significantly: the robots can now download a map, interpret the terrain and work out for themselves how to navigate through the world. Largelanguage and large-vision models that have been trained with vast amounts of text and video data from the Internet are increasingly being used. \u201cOur world is very complex, so we can\u2019t manually programme the robot\u2019s behaviour for every possible situation.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-614e200 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"614e200\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-54ba443\" data-id=\"54ba443\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7856fe0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7856fe0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Advances in AI and hardware have also greatly accelerated the development of robotics. In Switzerland, we can sometimes barely keep up with the pace of putting high-tech inventions into practice and scaling them up. \u201cThe world is evolving very fast,\u201d says the researcher. While huge robotics centres are being set up in China in a very short space of time, and billions are being invested in robotics start-ups in the USA, it often takes a little longer here, and you have to think on<br \/>a smaller scale. The new RobotX test hall at ETH Zurich took around ten years from planning to occupation, for example.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-40d529e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"40d529e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1518159\" data-id=\"1518159\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7399511 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"7399511\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=IrPnHdK-bN0&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-61fea2b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"61fea2b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bc9a074\" data-id=\"bc9a074\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a171f74 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a171f74\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Nevertheless, the professor believes in Zurich as a location for robotics.
