Computational Robot Design & Fabrication Lab

The Design and Manufacturing Laboratory of Computer Robots (CREATE Lab) at EPFL focuses on developing new fabrication and computational design tools to create robots with advanced capabilities. The lab aims to revolutionize robot design by exploring innovative fabrication methods for complex, multi-material sensorized structures that enable intelligent interactions with the environment. Additionally, the lab uses robots for large-scale physical experiments to study complex phenomena and optimize systems in various fields such as cooking, agriculture, and biology. Research at the CREATE Lab covers a wide range of projects, including soft robotics, exploring nature-inspired designs, and utilizing robots as scientific tools. The lab's work is at the forefront of robotics technology, with a strong emphasis on soft body-fluid interactions, sustainability, and scientific exploration.
