Open Opportunities

The Myoshirt - wearable soft robotic assistance ETH Zurich Sensory-Motor Systems Lab The Myoshirt – a garment-like soft wearable robot – assists upper extremity movements without interfering with the natural movement of the user. We are looking for motivated students with an interest in robotics and human subject research to help us in the development and evaluation of the Myoshirt.

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

Development und design of a multifunctional Laparoscope ETH Zurich Sensory-Motor Systems Lab Most of the currently existing tools have exactly one function and are single use devices. Therefore, we conceptualized a multifunctional, multiuse laparoscopic device. Are you excited to build things that matter? Mechanical Engineering, Surgery Master Thesis

Design of a tendon-based robotic device for locomotion training ETH Zurich Sensory-Motor Systems Lab Other organizations: Medizinische Fakultät The proposed project aims at designing a novel tendon-based parallel robotic device for locomotion training that can guide or resist the patients’ movements during training. Mechanical Engineering, Rehabilitation Engineering Master Thesis
