Alexander Kübler

Alexander Kübler is affiliated with the Professorship for Autonomous Systems at ETH Zürich. His research focuses on advanced robotics, control systems, and biomimetic designs. He holds a position as a Researcher in the department of Autonomous Systems, contributing to cutting-edge projects in robotic manipulation, soft robotics, and automation.

His work emphasizes the development of bioinspired systems such as tendon-driven hands, pneumatically actuated robots, and steerable mechanisms for search and rescue applications. Key projects include the Rotograb hybrid gripper system and soft growing vine robots. His research integrates mechanical engineering, control theory, and material science to advance robotic capabilities.

Recent publications highlight innovations in model predictive control, pulley design for tendon-driven systems, and vision-based actuation for musculoskeletal replication. These contributions aim to bridge the gap between biological systems and engineered robotics solutions.

Laboratory activities are centered around the Autonomous Systems Lab at ETH Zürich, where interdisciplinary teams tackle challenges in robotic mobility, actuation, and environmental interaction.
