ETH Zurich's Robotic Systems Lab created the Swiss Mile robot, who is to be believed to be key to automating our cities. Professor Marco Hutter is working on automated machines within a MI project from the CSFM.

This four-legged and wheeled robot is able to change shape within seconds, overcome steps and navigate between indoor and outdoor environments. It's hoped the bot, which can travel up to 20 kilometers an hour and carry 50 kilograms, has the potential to serve as a member of search-and-rescue teams in the future.
