About Swiss Robotics
Swiss Robotics & Advanced Technologies AG is a Swiss company founded in 2024 and headquartered at Technopark Winterthur. It specializes in autonomous robotic systems for industrial inspection and non-destructive testing (NDT). The company develops and integrates AI-based navigation, perception and data analysis, enabling robotic platforms to operate safely and autonomously in complex, GPS/GNSS-denied environments. At its core is a drone-based inspection solution deployed, among other applications, on cement kilns: flying robots capture 3D point clouds and inspection data, which are condensed in an interactive digital environment into repeatable, data-driven asset intelligence processes. The AI analytics support anomaly detection, comparison of observations over time and prioritization of maintenance measures. In addition to inspection, the company offers customizable robotics solutions, support and training, and is building on its dual-use roadmap towards security applications.
