Open Opportunities

Tri-axial Force Sensor for an Eye Surgery University of Basel Department of Biomedical Engineering We are working on equipping a needle-sized device with a tri-axial force sensor for ophthalmologic interventions (eye surgery). Engineering and Technology Master Thesis

PhD position in Quantum Limited Atomic Force Microscopy University of Basel UHV Force Microsc. Lab A fully funded 4-year PhD position in experimental physics is available in the Force Microscopy group of the Department of Physics at the University of Basel. Physics PhD Placement

Development of a modular series elastic joint for a prototype robotic arm for surgeries University of Basel Department of Biomedical Engineering Other organizations: Sensory-Motor Systems Lab We are developing a robot as a part of the flagship project MIRACLE (Minimally Invasive Robot Assisted Computer–guided LaserosteotomE). The aim of this sub-project is to design and develop the joint, which forms the building block for the robot in a modular way. Engineering and Technology Master Thesis, Semester Project

Redesign of a Robotic Articulated Endoscope with Series Elastic Actuation University of Basel Department of Biomedical Engineering Other organizations: Sensory-Motor Systems Lab In this project you will redesign and extend an existing articulated endoscope. The focus lies on integrating series elastic elements in the actuation and implementing stable force control. Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Master Thesis

Design and Evaluation of a Measurement Probe for Contact-Forces in Minimally Invasive Knee Surgery University of Basel Department of Biomedical Engineering Other organizations: Sensory-Motor Systems Lab One of the main challenges when developing robotic tools for minimally invasive surgery are unknown mechanical requirements. Your task will be to develop a measurement probe which can measure the contact forces between the surgical instrument and the surrounding tissue in the knee. Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Master Thesis
