Plug & p...erform surgery - design of a mechanical interface to safely detach a tendon-driven robotic endoscope University of Basel Department of Biomedical Engineering Other organizations: Sensory-Motor Systems Lab After discussing with clinicians and identifying the requirements, you will develop a "plug & play" interface that allows the surgeon to safely attach and detach a tendon-driven endoscope from its actuation unit. Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Master Thesis

Integrating multi-segmental foot kinematics and plantar pressure for gait analysis University of Basel Forschung Kinderspital This master thesis gives you the opportunity to become insight in working in a clinical environment. You will develop a link between patient specific foot kinematic data and plantar pressure data to implement this in the clinical gait analysis routine. Biomechanical Engineering, Biomechanics Master Thesis

Master Thesis: Solving the Forward and Inverse Problem of the 2D-Helmholtz Equation using a Convolutional Neural Network University of Basel Center for medical Image Analysis & Navigation This thesis is part of an interdisciplinary project called Minimally Invasive Robot-Assisted Computer-guided LaserosteotomE (MIRACLE) from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Basel. The goal of this project is to develop a minimally invasive robotic endoscope to cut bones with laser-light.

Augmenting a Custom Haptic Input Device Handle with Force Feedback for Intuitive Grasping University of Basel Bio-Inspired RObots for MEDicine-Laboratory (BIROMED-Lab) Other organizations: Sensory-Motor Systems 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) Other organizations: Sensory-Motor Systems 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

PhD Opportunity in Biomedical Ethics at University of Basel, Switzerland University of Basel Institut für Bio- und Medizinethik (IBMB) The Institute for Biomedical Ethics at the University of Basel offers 3 PhD positions to graduate students and medical doctors starting April and May 2020. Biology, Medical and Health Sciences, Studies in Human Society PhD Placement

Real-Time Visual Feature Recognition and Metrology for Mechanical Micro-Parts University of Basel Bio-Inspired RObots for MEDicine-Laboratory (BIROMED-Lab) Other organizations: Sensory-Motor Systems Lab Machine vision has lately been gaining in importance in various fields. One possible application lies in robot-assisted micro-assembly. Your task will be to devise an algorithm that recognizes edges and features of micro-parts, and intuitively displays the results to the user to support him.
