About Robot Learning & Interaction Group

The Idiap Research Institute is a research institute of national importance established in 1991 by the City of Martigny, the State of Valais, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, the University of Geneva, and Swisscom with funding from the Dalle Molle Foundation. Inspired by Angelo Dalle Molle's innovative approach, we aim to improve quality of life through scientific advances in artificial intelligence. Our tagline reads, "AI for Society." Our multidisciplinary research is represented by four research programs: Human-AI Teaming, Sustainable and Resilient Societies, AI for Life, and AI for Everyone. Our multicultural environment includes a dedicated R&D engineering team as well as an administrative team. The institute has 18 Principal Investigators and supports more than 75 students, including PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and national and international master’s students and interns. In addition to research, Idiap fosters knowledge dissemination and actively engages in industrial partnerships. We are based in the heart of the Swiss Alps, in Martigny (VS).
