| In this project, we focus on continuous and quantitative monitoring of activities of daily living (ADL) in SCI individuals with the goal of identifying cardiovascular events and PI-related risk behaviors.
ADLs specific to SCI patients and their lifestyles shall be discussed and narrowed down in the scope of this work, therefore an autonomous camera-based system is proposed to classify ADLs.
The Current work builds on a previous project where a SlowFast network [1] was trained to identify SCI-specific classes and we aim to further improve the classification and temporal resolution for transferring to wearables' time-series data. - Computer Vision, Health Information Systems (incl.

| Design and build dexterous human-like robotic hands with us at the Soft Robotics Lab and the ETH spin-off mimic. We will explore different possibilities of developing design features and sub-systems. The developed features shall be integrated into a fully functional robotic hand and applied to solve practical manipulation challenges. - Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering

| Traditional facial motion capture systems, including marker-based methods and multi-camera rigs, often struggle to capture fine details such as micro-expressions and subtle wrinkles. While learning-based techniques using monocular RGB images have improved tracking fidelity, their temporal resolution remains limited by conventional camera frame rates. Event-based cameras present a compelling solution, offering superior temporal resolution without the cost and complexity of high-speed RGB cameras. This project explores the potential of event-based cameras to enhance facial motion tracking, enabling the precise capture of subtle facial dynamics over time. - Engineering and Technology

| We invite applications for a Master's thesis / semester project that focuses on the fabrication of microrobots with custom shapes. Using our developed droplet printing technique, this project will explore how different microrobot shapes, created by different magnetic fields and materials, influence their control behaviors in blood vessels. This research aims to advance biomedical technologies, particularly in targeted drug delivery and minimally invasive procedures. - Biomedical Engineering, Colloid and Surface Chemistry, Materials Engineering, Nanotechnology, Printing Technology

| The purpose of this project is to enhance an existing
robotic platform capable of autonomously delivering
injections into the human eye. Rather than starting
from zero, the student will build upon substantial prior
research. The project’s primary focus is on industrial
design—making the system both visually appealing
and suitable for clinical settings. This includes
collaborating with external manufacturers for casting
and production, resulting in a polished, user-friendly
device for healthcare professionals. In addition, the
student will do some coding in Python (specifically for
motion planning) to run experiments on porcine and
mock-eyes using the updated design. - Engineering and Technology
