The Humanoid Robotics Association Switzerland (HRAS) is a non-profit organization dedicated toshaping the future of human–robot interaction — starting with people.
Based in Schlieren–Zurich, HRAS connects education, research and industry to ensure that humanoid robotics and Physical AI develop in a way that is responsible, understandable and beneficial for society.
Our mission: to foster curiosity, education and dialogue so that the next generation grows up understanding technology — not being shaped by it.
Robotics is no longer confined to laboratories and factories. It is entering classrooms, public spaces, and everyday life. That is why HRAS focuses on human-first innovation: placing learning, ethical reflection, and societal impact at the center of technological progress—in Switzerland and beyond.
