Why it’s in

  • A European mobile robot with real autonomy: scheduled patrols, AI detections and self-charging without an operator.
  • Born at ETH Zurich’s Autonomous Systems Lab; supporters listed by Ascento include NVIDIA, ESA and Innosuisse.
  • In paid service at industrial sites, according to Ascento’s case studies.

What bothers us

  • Rental only; no price, and no specs such as weight or speed are published.
  • Case studies are anonymous (pharma, manufacturing, outlet centre), so deployments cannot be checked independently.
  • A business tool for site security, not something for private buyers.
