Bernhard's crazy idea
Bernhard Winter completes his studies in 2014. For his degree, he wants to develop a robot that drives independendly on two wheels and can climb stairs.
Team Scalevo
A group of ten ETH and ZhdK students becomes the project team Scalevo.
Prototype No. 1: «Scalevo»
Within nine months, they develop the first prototype called Scalevo. The produced video of Scalevo goes viral overnight.
Prototype No. 2: «Scewo»
In a second step, the students continue to develop the prototype. The result is Scewo. With this prototype, they participate on CYBATHLON 2016.
Scalevo becomes Scewo
After completing the project, three of the ten students still believe in their vision: they want to provide people with limited mobility with independence and boundless freedom. Thomas Gemperle, Pascal Buholzer and Bernhard Winter (from left to right) found Scewo AG with a seedfunding of less than one million Swiss francs.
