Open OpportunitiesIn this project, we are going to develop a vision-based reinforcement learning policy for drone navigation in dynamic environments. The policy should adapt to two potentially conflicting navigation objectives: maximizing the visibility of a visual object as a perceptual constraint and obstacle avoidance to ensure safe flight. - Engineering and Technology

| Recent research has demonstrated significant success in integrating foundational models with robotic systems. In this project, we aim to investigate how these foundational models can enhance the vision-based navigation of UAVs. The drone will utilize learned semantic relationships from extensive world-scale data to actively explore and navigate through unfamiliar environments. While previous research primarily focused on ground-based robots, our project seeks to explore the potential of integrating foundational models with aerial robots to enhance agility and flexibility. - Engineering and Technology

| The main tract for transmitting noxious stimuli is the spinothalamic tract, receiving its input from different types of small fibers in the skin i.e., mechanical- or heat-sensitive fibers. In spinal cord injury as in other pathologies involving neuropathic pain and sensation deficits, it is crucial to assess spinothalamic tract integrity with objective methods. This depends on a well-characterized stimulation modality, activating small fibers, and implies the recording of brain activity in response to this stimulation (electroencephalography; EEG). Intra-epidermal electrical stimulation (IES) using a concentric triple electrode is known for its clinical potential due to small fiber activation and is a good candidate for the activation of the spinothalamic tract. However, to implement IES as a diagnostic tool in the clinical routine, feasibility, and test-retest reliability need to be assessed compared to other stimulation modalities. - Central Nervous System, Neurology and Neuromuscular Diseases, Peripheral Nervous System, Sensory Systems

| Epilepsy is a disorder characterized by recurrent seizures and for some patients surgery becomes a viable option for treatment. Intraoperative electrocorticography (ECoG) is used during epilepsy surgery to identify epileptiform patterns in real-time. We recently proposed a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) that can detect epileptiform patterns during surgery: https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-47495-y. This project proposes the optimization of such a system, leveraging the BCI2000 software platform and the DYNAP-SE neuromorphic chip. - Biomedical Engineering, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences

| The ETH spin-off MYNERVA is pioneering the development of a smart neurostimulation sock aimed at alleviating symptoms associated with neuropathic diseases of the lower limb, such as those caused by diabetic neuropathy. Through targeted transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) of the nerves innervating the foot, MYNERVA reduces neuropathic pain and restores sensory perception below the foot in affected individuals, improving gait and balance.
