🦾 Embarking on Technological Marvel: The Ascento Chronicles! 🚀 Journey back to the summer of 2017 at ETH Zürich, where a team of nine brilliant undergraduate students undertook a formidable challenge for their final project. 🇨🇭 Their mission? Craft a robot seamlessly navigating flat surfaces and conquering stairs. The result? The awe-inspiring Ascento - a two-legged jumping robot with wheels, defying conventional expectations. After weeks of spirited debate and considering various designs, the team boldly pursued their most ambitious concept. Despite initial skepticism about the complexity involved, their perseverance paid off. Ascento, weighing 23 pounds, emerged as a bipedal wonder capable of rolling at five miles per hour and leaping an impressive 14 vertical inches without faltering. This cutting-edge creation stands as a testament to their dedication and engineering prowess. The innovative robot was meticulously designed and optimized using MathWorks software - MATLAB and Simulink, showcasing the integration of technology and creativity. In recent news, Ascento has secured a remarkable $4.3 million funding round, a testament to the impact of their groundbreaking work! 🚀 Kudos to the entire team for transforming a bold vision into a tangible reality. Such stories fuel our passion for innovation and drive us towards an exciting future! ❤️ I hope you found this journey into robotics inspiring!

🙏 Thank you, Autonomous Everything @ ZF, for letting me help you build and lead your autonomous driving endeavor. For the past 6 years, my whole passion has been driving AI research, development, and validation. First, as a PhD student in a cooperation with Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and as a member of the Berkeley DeepDrive Consortium, and the "KI Familie", and later, as a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, then AI Product Owner and Team Lead. We’ve come a long way over the past years. I will miss all the apiary 🐝 and bee metaphors we came up with to make our product more tangible to stakeholders - and, of course, even more fun - and I appreciate you made sure I will remember this with every step I will be taking. I cherish all the experiences and learnings I had, all the highs and lows that come naturally. I couldn‘t have asked for a better time and team. I‘ve decided it’s the right moment to embark on a new journey, which I‘ll soon announce. I‘ll deeply miss the people I was lucky to work with on our shared vision for a new software-defined mobility. I know their talents and ambitions, especially on the AI side, and I do not doubt they will build awesome things to come. I‘ll be cheering from the sidelines. 🎉" #DeepLearning #AutonomousDriving #TrustworthyAI #NextChallenge #ZFambassador ZF Group

It was an incredibly insightful day for us, as we had the honor of hosting Prashanth Kumar, Director of Information Technology at Volvo Cars, on our campus. His session provided a profound exploration of the Digital Transformation landscape, highlighting the critical intersection of trust, people, processes, and technology. Mr. Kumar's advice struck a chord with us as aspiring tech professionals. He urged us to perceive technology as a dynamic field deeply intertwined with business dynamics. His emphasis on starting our careers as developers and collaborators before venturing into managerial roles resonated with our ambitions. Swapnil Wable, Saikiran Sondarkar, LetsUpgrade One key takeaway was Mr. Kumar's stress on the significance of an active presence on social media, staying abreast of technological advancements, and cultivating a critical mindset toward challenges and risks.
