Exploring AI to advance
research, innovation,
and education

EPFL researchers have built a drone that can walk, hop, and jump into flight with the aid of birdlike legs, greatly expanding the range of potential environments accessible to unmanned aerial vehicles.

EPFL research investigating the potential impact on education of AI assistants has found that systems like GPT-4 can answer up to 85% of university assessment questions correctly.

EPFL’s new Kuma supercomputer, which ranks 23rd in the Green500 ranking, illustrates EPFL’s efforts to support cutting-edge research with a low environmental impact. With Kuma, EPFL is helping anchor Switzerland’s position at the forefront of sustainable computing.

IC Assistant Professor Maria Brbić, has been awarded SNSF Starting Grants for her innovative research project tackling a critical scientific and societal challenge.

Scientists at EPFL have advanced their NeuroMechFly model, simulating fruit fly movement in the real world. With integrated vision and smell, it helps us understand brain-body coordination, setting a path for neuroengineering’s role in robotics and AI.

EPFL researchers have combined virtual reality, non-invasive brain stimulation and advanced brain imaging techniques to improve spatial navigation in healthy participants. The study is a first step in addressing dementia in an aging population without medication or surgery.
