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

The freezing of water is a common natural phenomenon. Nevertheless, scientists still not unanimously agree on the precise physics of the process. We aim to advance knowledge in this field by the application of highly controlled electric fields during the freezing of single droplets. - Electrical Engineering, Electrostatics and Electrodynamics, Fluid Physics, Instruments and Techniques, Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics
