Open Opportunities

Urban Navigation for Wheeled-Legged Robots

  • ETH Zurich
  • Robotic Systems Lab

Traditional legged robots are capable of traversing challenging terrain but lack energy efficiency and speed when compared to wheeled systems. We propose a novel optimization/learning framework that enables a legged robot equipped with powered wheels to perform hybrid locomotion.

Modelling of a soft exoskeleton

  • ETH Zurich
  • Sensory-Motor Systems Lab Other organizations: Robotic Systems Lab

Wearable assistive technologies, such as exoskeletons, are often best option to regain mobility for those with a weakness of the musculoskeletal system. In this project we want to simulate a soft wearable exoskeleton and its controls in a virtual environment.

Space manipulator control and debris catching via Reinforcement learning

  • ETH Zurich
  • Robotic Systems Lab

The goal of this project is to control a chaser satellite, consisting of a space manipulator mounted on a free-floating base, with Reinforcement Learning. The chaser should be able to grasp another free-floating target, such as a second satellite or a piece of space debris, and stabilize the stack.

Force Torque Sensor for Space Robotics

  • ETH Zurich
  • Robotic Systems Lab

Grasping and manipulation of unknown objects in space and robotic surgery requires forces to be detected in a precise and robust way. The challenge of this project is to design and identify all critical requirements for a space qualified sensor and develop a prototype.

Human-Robot Collaborative Weight Carrying with a Legged Robot using a Force Torque Sensor

  • ETH Zurich
  • Robotic Systems Lab

Human-Robot collaborative weight carrying experiments have been carried out mainly with wheeled robots. We want to exploit the advantages of using a legged robot for this task. However, this adds additional complexity in robustly using the readings from the force torque sensor at the end-effector.

Network congestion control for teleoperated heavy machines

  • ETH Zurich
  • Robotic Systems Lab

In this project, we aim to design intelligent network congestion control algorithm to teleoperate heavy machines over mobile networks.

Tasks and Assistance Selection for Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation Therapy

  • ETH Zurich
  • Sensory-Motor Systems Lab Other organizations: Robotic Systems Lab

These days, exoskeleton robots are frequently used to provide neural rehabilitation therapy to patients. They are especially beneficial, as they can assess patient data such as aRoM or movement smoothness, with high accuracy and precision. These data can be used to generate high-intensity tasks that challenge the patient

Control Algorithm Development for a Series Elastic Actuated Exoskeleton

  • ETH Zurich
  • Robotic Systems Lab Other organizations: Sensory-Motor Systems Lab

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.
