The Center for Project-Based Learning D-ITET (PBL) is among the three finalists for the KITE Award 2024. The KITE Award honors particularly convincing teaching innovations and will be presented as part of the Innovation in Learning and Teaching Fair on 15 May. 

Members and undergraduate students of the Center for Project-Based Learning D-ITET (PBL) secured a prestigious second place in the Indy autonomous race simulation at the tech event CES in Las Vegas. ETH’s team was only surpassed by the experienced PoliMove team from Politecnico di Milano. An exceptional and very promising achievement for the future. Congratulations!

The project Quadrupedal Robot for Assisting Visually Impaired People, led by Dr. Michele Magno and developed by students and the PBL research assistant Davide Plozza is getting nationwide advertisement. The project has been partially supported by the ETH+ project Future Learning Initiative, and the ETH Future Computing Laboratory (EFLC).

A team of students from the Integrated Systems Laboratory (IIS) and the Center for Project-Based Learning D-ITET is working on a cutting-edge project to improve the performance and training of ski jumpers. The cross-federation effort involves the development and testing of a multi-sensor feedback system that can measure and analyse various aspects of a ski jump, such as the centre of gravity during the inrun, the trajectory and the edge angle.

The DISCO group’s "Banyan: Fast Rotating Leader BFT" has won the Best Paper Award at Middleware 2024. The paper demonstrates how to reduce the latency of modern blockchain protocols.

Students and alumni of D-ITET can now enter the study programme for the teaching diploma for Matura schools in mathematics more easily. With a focus on information technology or mathematics, all requirements can be obtained during the regular studies.
