Department of Biomedical EngineeringOpen OpportunitiesThe "in SEA2 SpineBot" Project aims to develop a robotic impedance measurement device capable of assessing the biomechanical properties of the adolescent spine with patient-specific anatomy. This highly interdisciplinary project will be the first of its kind to acquire in vivo data from patients with idiopathic adolescent scoliosis (AIS) during their correction surgery. It is a collaboration with the Children's Hospital of Basel (UKBB) and the Computational Bioengineering Group at ARTOG University of Bern.
Ensuring the functionality and reliability of the series elastic actuation (SEA) component of this device is a challenge in sensor development and signal electronics and is paramount to the project's overall success. - Clinical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering
