Open OpportunitiesTraditional legged robots are capable of traversing challenging terrain but lack energy efficiency and speed when compared to wheeled systems. We propose a novel optimization/learning framework that enables a legged robot equipped with powered wheels to perform hybrid locomotion. - Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering

| We want to enhance the existing manipulation capabilities of ANYmal with arm. We are currently developing a shared autonomy framework, allowing the robot to perform various autonomous manipulation and cooperation tasks, while allowing an operator to intervene in case something unexpected happens. - Engineering and Technology

| You would join a team of clinical and research scientists in the task of improving the long-term prognosis of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) through physiological and clinical data.
Your work will guide future rehabilitation methods in general clinical practice, through applied classification and dimensionality reduction in Biomechanics of walking.
Goal: Develop an unsupervised clustering pipeline for a large dataset of gait patterns from spinal cord injured individuals for class similarity evaluation

| Implementation of a spatial model of a quadruped with flexible shanks. Writing a simulation framework based on an already existing multi-body simulation for flexible bodies, which includes soft as well as rigid links. All the software will be written in Python. - Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences
- Master Thesis
| This project is about the implementation of an algorithm based on the patient's gravity line to help plan spinal deformity corrections. - Engineering and Technology, Medical and Health Sciences
- Internship, Master Thesis, Semester Project
| This project aims to develop a system for guiding visually-impaired humans through physical interaction with a robot. Inspired by guide dogs, the human is physically connected to a quadruped robot (ANYmal) through a tether or rigid link. The robot is able to pull the human toward a desired position (or along a path) only using forces as an indirect communication-channel.

| Age-related bone loss and associated fractures result in osteoporosis, a major problem for the elderly. Several studies suggested as a therapeutic target to prevent bone loss by precise coordination of bone remodeling through the interaction of bone cells namely: osteoclast-bone resorbing cells, osteoblasts-bone forming cells and osteocytes-key mechanosensors of bone remodeling. To understand the cellular mechanism of aging, this project investigates the degenerative changes in the bone cells in a mouse model of senile osteoporosis. - Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Medical and Health Sciences

| We would like to develop an approach to solve the planning/control aspect of robotic tree manipulation, with the goal of using our autonomous tree harvester, Harveri, for robotic forestry missions. The project can be tailored to your needs/wishes. - Intelligent Robotics

| Knee osteoarthritis severely affects people’s movement abilities and causes considerable knee pain, resulting in an impaired quality of life. With the knee OA progressing to the late stage, patients commonly need to receive a total knee arthroplasty, which greatly increase the socioeconomic burden. Orthotic shoes and gait modification are two popular approaches that have been proposed to be able for reducing knee adduction moment and relieving knee pain. However, their effects are often confounded without a clear analysis on the subjects, biomechanical responses, and quality of the research. We thus aim to perform a systematic review on these two approaches, with a specific aim to analyse their biomechanical effects reported in previous literature, as well as a guidance for further research. - Biomechanics, Rehabilitation and Therapy: Occupational and Physical, Rehabilitation Engineering
