Open OpportunitiesWavemap is a multi-resolution volumetric mapping framework. By integrating its 3D maps with RL pipelines, we want to enable robots to navigate in complex environments. Future semantic support will enable advanced applications like urban navigation and safe traversal of hazardous terrains. - Intelligent Robotics

| This project explores how gamification elements in smartphone applications can keep patients engaged during unsupervised at-home physical therapy. Integrated with the upper-limb rehabilitation robotic device ReHandyBot, the RehabCoach app currently tracks basic metrics like time spent with the device and exercise levels. However, to improve adherence and motivation, this project aims to redesign the feedback system, incorporating features such as badges and personalized progress visualizations. By enhancing these features, the goal is to support patients in staying engaged and committed to their therapy regimens, ultimately improving long-term outcomes. - Behavioural and Cognitive Sciences, Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences, Medical and Health Sciences

| We are looking for a highly motivated Master student to perform the Master thesis in a collaborative project between the Multi-Scale Robotics Lab (Dr. Minghan Hu, D-MAVT) and Laboratory for Soft Materials and Interfaces (Prof. Lucio Isa & Dr. Jeremy Wong, D-MATL) at ETH Zurich. By encapsulating bacteria in microcapsules and organizing them in specific patterns, we aim to understand how these communities form and behave. This research offers an exciting opportunity to explore the dynamics of bacterial communities and contribute to the development of innovative biotechnological methods. - Biomedical Engineering, Interdisciplinary Engineering, Materials Engineering, Medical Microbiology, Microbiology

| We are seeking a highly motivated ETH Zurich student for a paid position to help open-source the Cubli platform, an advanced robotics system. The role involves refining CAD designs, hardware prototyping, and integrating electronics and software. Applicants should demonstrate experience in hardware prototyping and/or software development (C++, Python). You’ll work closely with the technical team at IDSC to document the entire process and make the Cubli easy to rebuild. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a high-impact project and collaborate with leading experts in the field. - Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences

| Nerve cuff electrodes are designed for reliable recording and stimulation of peripheral nerves, as illustrated in Figure A. This project aims to develop a wireless, self-locking cuff electrode tailored specifically for nerve stimulation, as depicted in Figure B. The student will determine a suitable biocompatible material for the electrode, design the electrode structure, and optimize its curvature using both theoretical analysis and finite element method (FEM) simulations to enhance the electrode's ability to wrap around the nerve. The student will also explore the electrode's application in stimulation in the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and investigate other potential biomedical applications. - Biomaterials, Biomechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering

| Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing technology offers high speed and resolution for printing smart materials that respond to external stimuli such as light, ultrasound, and magnetic fields. We have developed an SLA 3D printer equipped with a control interface implemented in Python within the ROS framework. The student will work on improving the current printer design by integrating a rotation platform to enable a third degree of freedom in printing. Additionally, the student will modify the control interface to achieve full automation of the printing process. The student will also characterize the final printing performance. Demonstrations will be designed to highlight the advantages of this enhanced 3D printer.

| Together with ESA and Beyond Gravity, we're developing a system for testing microgravity space structures on earth. To do so, we're developing reactive ground robots that are able to support e.g. solar panels while their unfolding from a satellite is tested. Your part of the project is to develop, evaluate and test (on the robot) state estimation solutions based on LIDAR and IMU. - Intelligent Robotics
