Orientation of the ankle joint and subtalar joint axis: Morphology vs dynamics

  • ETH Zurich
  • Sensory-Motor Systems Lab

Knowledge about the orientation of the ankle joint and subtalar joint axis is limited to studies on tarsal morphology and quasistatic studies. Here, we determined the joint axes based on previously gained kinematics during walking.

Conception, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Virtual Simulation Environment for a Teleoperation User Console

  • University of Basel
  • Bio-Inspired RObots for MEDicine-Laboratory (BIROMED-Lab) Other organizations: Sensory-Motor Systems Lab

We are developing a robotic micro-assembly system consisting of a visuo-haptic user console and an assembly station. To evaluate and refine hardware and control of the console, a VR simulation of the assembly station is needed. Your task would be to implement and evaluate such a simulation framework

Development and Evaluation of a Visual Feature Recognition Framework for a Robotic Assembly System

  • University of Basel
  • Bio-Inspired RObots for MEDicine-Laboratory (BIROMED-Lab) Other organizations: Sensory-Motor Systems Lab

We are developing a robotic micro-assembly system. The camera system integrated therein shall be paired with a feature recognition framework to provide the user with information on part geometry and size, and to allow for visual servoing. Your task would be to develop and evaluate such a framework.

Modelling of a soft exoskeleton

  • ETH Zurich
  • Sensory-Motor Systems Lab Other organizations: Robotic Systems Lab

Wearable assistive technologies, such as exoskeletons, are often best option to regain mobility for those with a weakness of the musculoskeletal system. In this project we want to simulate a soft wearable exoskeleton and its controls in a virtual environment.

Tasks and Assistance Selection for Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation Therapy

  • ETH Zurich
  • Sensory-Motor Systems Lab Other organizations: Robotic Systems Lab

These days, exoskeleton robots are frequently used to provide neural rehabilitation therapy to patients. They are especially beneficial, as they can assess patient data such as aRoM or movement smoothness, with high accuracy and precision. These data can be used to generate high-intensity tasks that challenge the patient
