Researchers unveil first Chat-GPT-designed robot
EPFL researchers at the School of Engineering have used the popular large language model Chat-GPT-3 to develop a robotic gripper for harvesting tomatoes, in a first demonstration of the artificial intelligence tool’s potential for collaborating with humans on robot design.
Researchers control individual molecules for precision sensing
By combining two cutting-edge biological research methods, EPFL researchers from the School of Engineering have achieved near-perfect control over the manipulation of individual molecules, allowing them to be identified and characterized with unprecedented precision.
New real-time guidable-tip wire for surgically treating strokes
The EPFL School of Engineering spin-off Artiria has developed a wire with a guidable tip that makes it easier for neurosurgeons to navigate the dense network of cerebral arteries and get to the source of strokes. Its system has just received clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Mori3: A Polygon Shapeshifting Robot for Space Travel
Jamie Paik and her team of researchers at EPFL’s School of Engineering have created an origami-like robot that can change shape, move around and interact with objects and people. By combining inspiration from the digital world of polygon meshing and the biological world of swarm behavior, the Mori3 robot can morph from 2D triangles into almost any 3D object.
Study reveals mechanics of the ideal surgical knot
Researchers from EPFL's School of Engineering have published a first study on the mechanics of surgical knots, with results that could be used to train surgeons to tie stronger, safer sutures – a skill that usually requires years of practice to master.
Bringing Leonardo da Vinci's designs to life
Fourteen mechanical engineering students spent a semester getting inside the head of Leonardo da Vinci. Using his drawings from the 15th and 16th centuries, the teams built ingenious machines – altering the design in some cases – in order to better understand how they worked.
Four School of Engineering Professors Honored with IEEE Awards In recognition of their exceptional contributions to their respective fields, four professors from EPFL's School of Engineering have been awarded prestigious honors by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The IEEE Awards Program and Best Paper awards are renowned for their acknowledgment of technical professionals who have made a significant impact on technology and society. EPFL Professors Ionescu, Kis, Shoaran, and Lacour are recognized as leading scientists in their field by the prestigious Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
Open-Source MEWron Device Unleashes New Possibilities in 3D Printing Engineers have turned a standard open-source 3D printer into a viable bioengineering research printer for a fraction of the cost. Researchers at EPFL’s School of Engineering, the Basque Center on Materials (BCMaterials) and the University of Oregon (UO) have successfully developed a cost-effective solution to overcome barriers in the field of additive manufacturing.
“There's progress in drawing female students into engineering.” In honor of International Women in Engineering Day (INWED), find out more about five female scientists from EPFL’s School of Engineering, their research and their experiences in academia.
Swiss energy system could be independent and carbon-neutral by 2050 Researchers from EPFL and HES-SO Valais have modeled the Swiss energy system under the hypothetical constraints of carbon neutrality and energy independence by 2050. The results show that these two constraints could be met while reducing energy system costs by about 30% compared to 2020.
