This project focuses on developing robust reinforcement learning controllers for agile drone navigation using adaptive curricula. Commonly, these controllers are trained with a static, pre-defined curriculum. The goal is to develop a dynamic, adaptive curriculum that evolves online based on the agents' performance to increase the robustness of the controllers. - Engineering and Technology

| We are looking for a motivated Master’s student to join an exciting interdisciplinary thesis project, collaborating between the Multi-Scale Robotics Lab (D-MAVT) and the deMello group (D-CHAB) at ETH Zurich. This project focuses on creating a novel microfluidic-based bottom-up method to fabricate multifunctional microrobots. This innovative approach seeks to revolutionize microrobot fabrication, opening the door to diverse new applications. - Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Colloid and Surface Chemistry

| Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are increasingly used for organic waste recycling and animal feed production. They can be used on a broad variety of organic waste products like market or food waste or faeces and manure. BSFL treatment produces two products, larvae which can be used as animal feed and frass which consists of insect excrements and indigestible organic residues. Frass is still rich in nitrogen and carbohydrates and is being composted before being used as a soil amendment. However; the frass might also be usable as a substrate for growing mushrooms and therefore used to create more value for the BSFL facility. The goal of this work is to test if BSFL frass is a good substrate for growing mushrooms or can help as an additive to another substrate increase mushroom yields. This work will take place in cooperation with EAWAG which is a leading institute working on BSFL waste treatment. - Environmental Engineering

| Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL), scientifically known as Hermetia illucens, have emerged as a promising solution for organic waste recycling and sustainable animal feed production. These remarkable insects possess the ability to convert a wide range of organic materials into valuable biomass, rich in proteins and lipids. However, their efficiency is somewhat limited when it comes to processing complex carbohydrates, particularly those found in lignocellulosic waste. In contrast to BSFL, white-rot fungi (WRF) possess a unique set of ligninolytic enzymes that enable them to degrade lignin, hemicellulose, and cellulose effectively. The goal of this research is to explore how pretreatment of lignocellulosic waste using white-rot fungi can increase the availability of nutrients for BSFL in the pretreated substrates. - Environmental Engineering

| In this project, you will focus on developing a Python-based graphical user interface (GUI) for Nanodrip printing to control an integrated system of micromotors, nanomotors, and FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). The GUI will serve as the central interface for precise manipulation and automation of the nanopipette drop system, enabling streamlined operation, real-time feedback, and user-friendly visualization of data. This system aims to enhance precision and efficiency in streamlining the control and data acquisition processes. - Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences

| Invegrow Ltd is the first producer of medical cannabis and industrial hemp in Malawi, which sells products locally, regionally, and internationally. Invegrow lobbied the Malawian government for 7 years, before the Cannabis Act (2020), allowing for the cultivation/processing of cannabis for industrial and medical purposes. Their current facility has a capability of drying around 2500 kg of dried flower and will expand in 2026. The flower hang drying system is not automated and needs review to come up with a turnkey solution for slowly hang drying the flower, avoiding the development of molds by managing the climate in the chambers and the air flow in and out of the chambers. The current system functions well, but with the expansion planned, a more automated one will be required. An engineering student shall help to work with the equipment and existing system (dehumidifiers, humidifiers, extractor fans, floor fans) to optimize it and improve on it. - Mechanical and Industrial Engineering

| Invegrow Ltd is the first producer of medical cannabis and industrial hemp in Malawi, which sells products locally, regionally, and internationally. Invegrow lobbied the Malawian government for 7 years, before the Cannabis Act (2020), allowing for the cultivation/processing of cannabis for industrial and medical purposes. Invegrow’s current hemp foods facility has proven that hemp food can be produced with good quality processing equipment from Turkey (desheller and oil expeller). Invegrow currently produces hemp seed oil, hemp protein powder, shelled seeds, hemp cosmetic oil, CBD flowers, CBD infused honey, CBD oils, and soon CBD gummies (legally, licensed by the Cannabis Regulatory Authority; sold in Malawi). They intend to expand into hemp based ‘ready to use supplementary foods’ (RUSFs) to help combat the malnutrition in Africa and will produce the grain with Malawian companies/farmers/universities to get the grain needed to process into these foods.
A purpose-built food facility must be designed to cater to the ISO 22000 standards. The building must take into consideration the floor space for the equipment needed, waste management, climate control, cold room and storage. The student should help finalize the paperwork for the ISO certification for current and future products and provide process flow diagrams. Invegrow will also need to assess how much more equipment is needed, as the facility grows. - Civil Engineering, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering

| Underwater gliders rely on their wings to convert vertical motion, induced by variable buoyancy, into forward motion. No active propulsion, such as propellers, is required. Wing efficiency, or lift-to-drag ratio, is a key parameter in enhancing the vehicle’s performance. In order to reduce the mechanical complexity, underwater gliders have no control surfaces, but at the cost of diminished maneuverability. Wings capable of changing shape would be able to adapt to encountered gliding conditions. Therefore, their efficiency would be optimized, and the operational range of the underwater vehicle extended [4]. Over the last years, actuators based on soft elastomers have contributed to the field of robotics, providing greater adaptability, improving collision resilience, and enabling shape-morphing. - Aerospace Engineering, Intelligent Robotics, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Robotics and Mechatronics
