 Multiscale Robotics LabOpen OpportunitiesWe invite applications for a Master's thesis / semester project that focuses on the fabrication of microrobots with custom shapes. Using our developed droplet printing technique, this project will explore how different microrobot shapes, created by different magnetic fields and materials, influence their control behaviors in blood vessels. This research aims to advance biomedical technologies, particularly in targeted drug delivery and minimally invasive procedures. - Biomedical Engineering, Colloid and Surface Chemistry, Materials Engineering, Nanotechnology, Printing Technology

| The purpose of this project is to enhance an existing
robotic platform capable of autonomously delivering
injections into the human eye. Rather than starting
from zero, the student will build upon substantial prior
research. The project’s primary focus is on industrial
design—making the system both visually appealing
and suitable for clinical settings. This includes
collaborating with external manufacturers for casting
and production, resulting in a polished, user-friendly
device for healthcare professionals. In addition, the
student will do some coding in Python (specifically for
motion planning) to run experiments on porcine and
mock-eyes using the updated design. - Engineering and Technology

| This Master's thesis/semester project focuses on the microfluidic fabrication of micromachines with multi-environmental responsiveness. The aim is to develop micromachines capable of adapting to various environmental cues. We envision that these micromachines will be used for complex tasks in biomedical and environmental applications. - Chemistry, Engineering and Technology, Medical and Health Sciences

| We are looking for a motivated Master’s student to join an exciting interdisciplinary thesis project, collaborating between the Multi-Scale Robotics Lab (D-MAVT) and the deMello group (D-CHAB) at ETH Zurich. This project focuses on creating a novel microfluidic-based bottom-up method to fabricate multifunctional microrobots. This innovative approach seeks to revolutionize microrobot fabrication, opening the door to diverse new applications. - Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Colloid and Surface Chemistry

| The objective of this project is to advance an existing robotic platform capable of autonomously delivering injections into the human eye. Rather than starting from scratch, the student will build on significant prior research. The primary task is to implement a force-feedback control algorithm that acts as the system’s safety mechanism. Specifically, the student will develop an admittance control algorithm, enabling the robot to adapt to unexpected disturbances by using real-time data from a 6D eye-tracking device and a force sensor.
