Open Opportunities

Validation of a Scapula Orthosis for Exoskeletons and Exosuits ETH Zurich Sensory-Motor Systems Lab Help us to validate our newly developed scapula orthosis as a standalone device and with our exoskeleton and exosuit. We are looking for a motivated Master student with experience in study preparation, data acquisition and/or data analysis. Public Health and Health Services, Rehabilitation Engineering Master Thesis

Skeleton Estimation and Game Design for Real-Life Therapy Scenarios on ANYexo 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. Future robots should be able to work autonomously with the patient and provide virtual therapy exercises that are close to real-life scenarios, such as coffee drinking or cooking. You are going to design an intelligent game that considers the patient’s current pose and ensures safe interactions. Engineering and Technology Master Thesis, Semester Project

Semester Project: Upper Extremity Movement Classification ETH Zurich Sensory-Motor Systems Lab Within this project, you will be engaged in developing and evaluating a classification system for upper extremity movements performed during therapy sessions for stroke patients. Engineering and Technology, Medical and Health Sciences Semester Project

Suitability of exoskeleton robots in practical use for nursing ETH Zurich Sensory-Motor Systems Lab Other organizations: Bio-Inspired RObots for MEDicine-Laboratory (BIROMED-Lab) Working in the field of nursing can become a backbreaking job when it comes to daily routines such as bed chair transfer of patients. Robotic support such as exoskeleton devices might bring the desired relief for health care personnel. Remains the questions if there is any available device that is f Biomechanical Engineering, Clinical Engineering, Human Movement and Sports Science, Mechanical Engineering, Nursing, Rehabilitation Engineering Master Thesis

Development und design of a multifunctional Laparoscope University of Basel Bio-Inspired RObots for MEDicine-Laboratory (BIROMED-Lab) Other organizations: Sensory-Motor Systems Lab The medical engineering market is one of the most innovative ones in our economy. In this interesting field, big players work alongside small business to design top-notch medical devices to improve and save the life of thousands of patients. Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Medicine-general Master Thesis

Switching Tools on the Fly - Design and Fabrication of a Small-Scale Tool Changing System for a Miniature Robot Arm University of Basel Bio-Inspired RObots for MEDicine-Laboratory (BIROMED-Lab) Other organizations: Sensory-Motor Systems Lab We are developing a versatile robotic micro-assembly system. The miniature robot arms incorporated therein need to be able to quickly switch between various end-effectors, e.g. micro-grippers and screwdrivers. The aim of this project is to create a robotic tool changer addressing this need. Engineering and Technology Master Thesis

Control Algorithm Development for a Series Elastic Actuated Exoskeleton ETH Zurich Robotic Systems Lab Other organizations: Sensory-Motor Systems Lab Robot-assisted therapy of stroke patients is a promising approach to improve the therapy outcome and to tackle the challenges of demographic ageing. Using a novel 6 DoF exoskeleton prototype, we want to investigate/develop new control strategies for the next generation of these robots. Intelligent Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Neurosciences, Rehabilitation Engineering, Robotics and Mechatronics Master Thesis, Semester Project
