Open Opportunities

Development of an orofacial muscular activity wearable sensor University of Basel Bio-Inspired RObots for MEDicine-Laboratory (BIROMED-Lab) In the realm of personalized medicine, the need for continuous vital signs monitoring is essential to recommend the optimal treatment. The chief aim of this project is to develop a ppg (photoplethysmography) werable sensor to monitor an irregular orofacial behavior. Engineering and Technology Master Thesis

Augmenting a Custom Haptic Input Device Handle with Force Feedback for Intuitive Grasping University of Basel Bio-Inspired RObots for MEDicine-Laboratory (BIROMED-Lab) Haptic input devices offer an elegant way to intuitively control robotic systems. Several custom handles for such a haptic input device have been developed in a past project. Your task will be to augment one these custom handles with grasping force feedback. Biomedical Engineering, Human Movement and Sports Science, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Robotics and Mechatronics Master Thesis

Manipulating the Micro-World - Design and Fabrication of a Small-Scale Force-Sensitive Gripping Device University of Basel Bio-Inspired RObots for MEDicine-Laboratory (BIROMED-Lab) In the last few decades, miniaturization has been observed to be one of the main driving forces in various sectors of industry. The assembly of micro-sized parts into functional devices is a key engineering challenge. Your task will be to develop a novel gripping device to manipulate such parts. Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Robotics and Mechatronics Master Thesis

Vision-based Registration and Control of a Robotic Endoscope for Laser Ablation University of Basel Department of Biomedical Engineering Other organizations: Sensory-Motor Systems Lab You will implement vision-based control of an articulated robotic endoscope, which should be able to register its position relative to the patient anatomy and use a laser to accurately cut along a predefined path in three-dimensional space. Biomedical Engineering, Computer Vision, Engineering/Technology Instrumentation, Image Processing, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Signal Processing, Systems Theory and Control Master Thesis
