 Computational robotics laboratory (Prof. Stelian Coros)Open OpportunitiesFlexible structures such as cable nets, deformable grid shells or membrane structures have been
drawing great interest in an architectural context for many years. Both in their own right, and
as formwork for concrete casting, they promise to be lightweight, economic and easily deployable

| The goal of this project is to develop a computational method for exploring the design space of spatial linkages, i.e., the space of parameter values that lead to mechanically feasible motion. - Computer Graphics, Mechanical Engineering, Simulation and Modelling

| Robots can perform many tasks today, but can they model clay? In contrast to previous robotic manipulation technique, which mostly deal with hard materials, in this project we will explore
robotic manipulation of materials that \emph{flow}: clay, plaster, stucco, etc. Our ultimate goal is to control a robot that can perform sculpting tasks or pottery like the ones in the picture above. - Computer Graphics, Intelligent Robotics, Simulation and Modelling

| One of the most exciting uses of mixed-reality head-mounted devices like the Microsoft HoloLensis to assist a user to learn / perform tasks.The HoloLens sees the world through a depth and a RGB camera, and can map the position of theuser in the real world through the built-in head tracking. It can also provide compelling experienceswhere virtual 3D objects (holograms) are mixed with real ones in the real world. However, the devicedoes not have capabilities yet to reason about what the user is doing, or how they should interact withthe objects around. The goal of this project is to start exploring this area, by building a HoloLensapp to assist the user in a pre-determined assembly task – like assemblying a piece of Ikea furniture.The student will get access to a HoloLens 2 device, and will therefore be able to leverage recentcapabilities like fully articulated hand tracking and eye gaze tracking. - Computer Graphics, Virtual Reality and Related Simulation
