Robots are revolutionizing industries by enabling tasks once considered impossible for them. As autonomy advances, artificial intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role in unlocking their potential but also introduces new challenges in ensuring trust, safety, and reliability in increasingly complex environments. To address these and advance autonomous systems toward safe, sustainable, and market-ready applications, LINA provides a state-of-the-art testing platform for autonomous systems and robotics technologies across all technical readiness levels centrally located in the Canton of Zurich in Switzerland.
LINA is:
- An infrastructure for research, development and inter-disciplinary tests of autonomous systems and drones in Zürich
- A place where experts from industry, research and regulatory stakeholders meet
- For civilian applications towards their commercialization
- Promoting the acceptance of autonomous systems and drones in society
