About CORD
CORD is a Focus Project by students at ETH, dedicated to developing innovative tethered firefighting drone systems. Our mission is to enhance safety and efficiency in firefighting operations, particularly in high-rise buildings and expansive wildfires. By leveraging the benefits of tethering drones to continuous power and water supplies, we aim to provide first responders with the tools they need to protect lives and property more effectively.
What is a Focus Project?
The goal of an ETH Focus Project is to develop and realize a product over the course of two semesters. Students work in teams of five to ten members. Starting from a market-oriented problem, the project covers all stages of product development in a realistic way, including market analysis, financial planning, concept creation, design, engineering, simulation, prototyping, and production. Successful Projects often move on to building a spin-off or start-up once the official project has finished.
