Our timeline

Here is where the project stands today, and what comes next.

Stage
2 / 6

  1. First concept phase

    Starting from scratch, we worked our way up to clear requirements and a shared vision of how GILMO1 will turn out and what it will be capable of.

  2. GILMO1 first prototype

    GILMO1 is the robot we build to learn what needs to be improved. “Make it exist first, make it perfect later.”

  3. Field testing

    First runs in the water to tune the controls and measure wing and fin stroke efficiency.

  4. GILMO2

    What performs well on GILMO1 carries over, what doesn't gets improved.

  5. Open-water testing & concept 2

  6. Final prototype

    Presented at the ETH Focus Project Rollout.
