Spun out of the Swiss Federal Institute (ETH Zürich) in 2014, the company now has about 90 employees global, and offices in Japan, and India. While improvements in technology are helping to make robotics more accessible to markets, the ability to integrate all therequired expertise remains a barrier for most companies.
