VIS x Hilti: Tech Talk
Event start time 19.11.2025 18:15
Event end time 19.11.2025 19:45
Hilti is globally recognized for its cutting-edge hardware solutions in the construction industry – but did you know we also innovate in software, AI, and robotics? Join us at ETH for an exclusive presentation by Hilti’s Research Department, where we’ll explore how computer science powers the future of construction technology. This session is tailored for students passionate about software engineering, AI, and embedded systems. You’ll gain insights into:
• Computer Vision & AI: Explore which clean code principles are used to develop intelligent systems that perceive and interpret the physical world – introduced by Emilia Szymanska, a Computer Vision research engineer.
• IoT & Wireless Technologies: Learn how the wireless protocol landscape is defining the future of IoT connectivity and localization – explained by Akis Mekikis, PhD, an IoT researcher.
• Robotics & Autonomy: Discover how sensor fusion, software architectures, and navigation enable the next generation of autonomous mobile robots – presented by Riccardo Balbi, a robotics engineer.
We’ll also talk about career opportunities at Hilti, especially in our research department, and share practical advice on how to stand out when applying with us. After the presentations, there will be a chance to connect with our engineers during an apero. Come for the talks, stay for the pizza!
