| The goal of the project is to assess the feasibility of using commercially available plantar pressure monitoring devices (so called smart insoles) on the diabetic population. Pressure ulcers are a common complication of the diabetic foot, and monitoring plantar pressure continuously is a potential measure of prevention. Diabetic patients are often prescribed personalized footwear (e.g., curved insoles that accommodate any deformity in the feet). This project aims at assessing the potential of the smart insoles available on the market to monitor plantar pressure in diabetic patients with such custom footwear. - Biomedical Engineering, Medical and Health Sciences

| The Multi-Scale Robotics Lab develops novel actuation methods for endoscopic devices utilizing magnetic navigation systems (MNS). In MNS, an external magnetic field applies forces and torques on magnets attached to the endoscopes. To control these endoscopes, precise shape estimation techniques are required. Current methods try to estimate the endoscope’s shape by measuring the external field along the endoscope using hall-sensors. This method requires precise knowledge about the applied external field and often lacks in localization precision in certain directions.

| In Formula 1 races, the psychology of human drivers plays a significant role in winning. Who is willing to take more risks and act more aggressively to secure victory? In this project, we aim to replicate such edge scenarios in autonomous racing. Until now, autonomous race cars often act conservatively, assuming the opponent's trajectory is fixed and not pushing to the limits of their constraints. Using game-theoretic control, we want to model the strategic, risky decision-making that happens on the race track. Specifically, we will delve into the competitive behaviors emerging from feedback Nash Equilibria (NE) and open-loop NE and explore whether we can encourage agents to be more aggressive with one solution concept over the other. Can we demonstrate the superiority of feedback equilibria theoretically and in simulation? - Intelligent Robotics, Robotics and Mechatronics, Systems Theory and Control, Systems Theory and Control

| Prosumer communities leverage and share locally generated energy. In response to the Swiss Energy Strategy 2050 and potential gas supply vulnerabilities, transitioning from singular, gas/oil-reliant energy systems to multi-energy networks is imperative. Unlike conventional individual systems where devices are often oversized and underutilized due to being designed for demand peaks, a prosumer community can optimize device use, reducing both energy costs, investment overheads and ecological impact. Therefore, when properly designed and operated, prosumer communities mitigate the inefficiencies typical of traditional setups. However, achieving optimal design is challenging due to complex interactions among stakeholders. The economic and ecological aspects of prosumer communities need to be thoroughly investigated taking into account different scenarios, energy demands and building types. This project aims to investigate various case studies for prosumer communities in the Swiss scenario and explore the technological solutions that mostly benefit from energy sharing. - Mechanical and Industrial Engineering

| Your tasks
• Your work will focus on the preparation of MPLs and their ex-situ and in-situ characterization
• The ex-situ characterization will be based on optical microscopy and X-ray Tomographic Microscopy XTM, coupled with image processing for data analysis
• The in-situ characterization will be based on Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell PEFC testing in our fuel cell test bench, this will allow the characterization of the fuel cell performance as a function of the used MPL
• During your internship, you will interact extensively with your colleagues within the group and within the whole electrochemistry laboratory | Electrophysiological recording systems, such as patch-clamp rigs and in-vitro neural interfaces, are designed to capture minute voltage signals (<100 µV) produced by electrogenic cells. These systems often comprise multiple instruments that face electromagnetic compatibility challenges, including ground loops and conflicting electric and magnetic fields. This project seeks to investigate the underlying causes of these issues and develop solutions to enhance the reliability and robustness of electrophysiological recordings. - Biosensor Technologies, Electrical Engineering, Engineering/Technology Instrumentation
