About Ascento
Bipedal
By having two legs we achieve maximum adaptivity on rough terrain
Wheels
With wheels rather than feet a secure push off platform can be realized while still being able to move quickly and stable on flat grounds
Computer
With the help of sensors and high-end cameras the robot’s surroundings are scanned, obstacles identified, and stair parameters calculated
Jump
With jumping not only stairs can be overcome but also any other obstacles up to a certain height

History
The Ascento project started as a focus project at ETH Zurich where students in their last bachelor year have the chance to apply their gained knowledge and skills in a real engineering project. The focus project team composed of 8 mechanical engineering students and 1 electrical engineering student developed the Ascento robot from September 2017 to May 2018.
