AITHON

Alumni

Construction, architecture, built environment
We build flying robots for force-intensive tasks! This saves workers lives and improves construction site efficiency. In Switzerland alone, over 9000 construction workers injure themselves severely through falling. AITHON has seen this issue and has created a flying robot to drill holes and perform other manipulative tasks on concrete walls. Not only can we create forces of up to 150 Newton horizontally, but also apply these forces with millimetre-precision. Besides keeping the construction worker out of harms way this can improve efficiency, by eliminating the need for scaffolding. By working on our team, you can apply yourself to many different fields, as we build our own hardware, controlled by our own software! \nIf you are interested in supporting us, feel free to contact us anytime to talk about partnerships! AITHON: We make autonomous construction work!...

Environmental Sustainability
Builtstop makes cities safer and more sustainable by improving buildings earthquake safety. Our technology, NegSV, provides a non-invasive, cost-effective, eco-conscious retrofit that protects structures, saves lives, and extends building lifespans. Builtstop develops NegSV, a non-invasive and cost-effective device that reduces earthquake damage in existing buildings. We have validated the technology through analytical studies, numerical simulations, and a scaled shaking-table experiment at ETH Zürich. Our next step is full-scale experiment testing and preparing the device for certification. Our goal is to deliver a practical, affordable retrofitting solution that protects buildings All four co-founders share a common academic background in civil engineering. Three of them first connected through a European program on seismic safety, which sparked their collaboration. The fourth co-founder followed a more entrepreneurial path but also has strong experience in engineering and business and is the brother of one of the founders. Together, they formed a strong and complementary team whose diverse expertise enables technological innovation for Builtstop....

Social Impact
We are Colombia's first real-estate developer focused on sustainable construction. We will help solve the housing crisis with regenerative materials that foster local economies while protecting our planet. We want to be market enablers of biobased construction in developing countries, starting with Colombia. For this, we have partnered with primary producers, farmers, local construction suppliers and builders associations. We are working along the supply chain to find untapped opportunities to achieve a regenerative built environment....

Hardware Engineering & Robotics
MSMD Robotics are developing a humanoid robot that will be employed in the construction sector to solve the growing issues caused by labour shortages. Working alongside humans, seamlessly integrating into existing workflows, eliminating the need for workers to complete repetitive tasks, at an affordable price. Our proof-of-concept HopeJR arm shows what is currently possible with available resources. We’re set to bringing them to the next level. A grand vision for robotics is what led to the creation of MSMD and is now its drive. Believing that the future of this technology will belong to whoever is bold enough to shape it, we took matters into our own hands. We’ve welcomed new members and are always open to those who are passionate about the topic....
