Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about robotics services in Switzerland
How do I access Innosuisse funding for a robotics project?
Innosuisse funds innovation projects that involve at least one Swiss company and one Swiss research institution (ETH, EPFL, or a university of applied sciences). Projects must demonstrate market potential. We help clients identify academic partners and structure proposals — typical grant covers 50% of research costs.
What precision standards do Swiss manufacturers require from robots?
Swiss watchmaking and medtech demand repeatability below ±5 microns. We deploy Stäubli TX2-series and custom precision cobots calibrated to meet these tolerances. All systems come with Swiss-standard metrology verification using coordinate measuring machines (CMMs).
Do you provide multi-lingual support for Swiss deployments?
Yes. Switzerland has four official languages — we provide full documentation, operator training, and technical support in German, French, Italian, and English. Our service teams are based in Zurich, Geneva, and Lugano.
What data residency requirements apply in Switzerland?
Many Swiss companies — especially in pharma and finance — require data to remain within Swiss borders. All robot telemetry and vision data can be stored on Swiss-hosted infrastructure. We support on-premise and Swiss cloud deployments compliant with the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP/nDSG).
Can you facilitate collaboration with ETH Zurich or EPFL robotics labs?
Yes. We have established relationships with ETH RSL, EPFL Biorobotics Lab, and multiple Swiss Innovation Parks. We help companies structure Innosuisse-funded projects, access university testbed facilities, and hire from the ETH/EPFL talent pipeline.
