Open OpportunitiesWe currently want to (i) elaborate the added value of a campus board that records the forces per limb, (ii) determine grasping phases for kinematic analyses of the phalanges more pragmatically than with 6DoF sensors, and (iii) drive forward a competition analysis based purely on video material. - Biomedical Engineering, Human Movement and Sports Science

| Estimating human poses within global trajectories is critical for applications such as augmented reality and sports analytics, yet it often demands precisely calibrated cameras and significant computational efforts. With advancements in deep learning and pose estimation technologies, various models can be trained using 2D or 3D motion data. However, effectively integrating these models to predict and analyze human movement trajectories in a continuous and dynamic environment remains challenging. This project aims to create a robust system that estimates and predicts human poses accurately, facilitating advancements in dynamic pose analysis and real-world applications. - Information, Computing and Communication Sciences

| Reaching and grasping an object of interest is a relatively simple
task that can be achieved robustly in case the object is equipped
with a simple handle and a visual marker. However, often the difficulty in the task originates from the rest of the environment.
The object may be placed in cluttered spaces with diverse obstacles
as well as dynamic entities, e.g. humans, other robots. As a result,
executing the task of reaching and grasping the object necessitates
collision-free motion control capabilities. - Intelligent Robotics, Robotics and Mechatronics

| The ETH spin-off MYNERVA is pioneering the development of a smart neurostimulation sock aimed at alleviating symptoms associated with neuropathic diseases of the lower limb, such as those caused by diabetic neuropathy. Through targeted transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) of the nerves innervating the foot, MYNERVA reduces neuropathic pain and restores sensory perception below the foot in affected individuals, improving gait and balance.

| The process of evaluating sleep examinations and diagnosing sleep disorders through polysomnographies (PSGs) is labor-intensive as it requires manual analysis from sleep technicians and doctors. In collaboration with Clinic Barmelweid, a leading sleep and rehabilitation clinic in northwestern Switzerland, we plan to automate this process using machine learning models. Clinic Barmelweid conducts approximately 400-450 PSGs annually and has access to a dataset of more than 5,000 recordings. - Artificial Intelligence and Signal and Image Processing, Biomedical Engineering, Medical and Health Sciences

| Durch die Verdichtung der Strömung in einem Radialverdichter wird nicht nur deren Druck, sondern auch deren Temperatur gemäss den thermodynamischen Grundlagen erhöht. Die Strömungstemperatur wechselwirkt mit der Impeller-Temperatur, sodass Wärmeflüsse in und aus dem Impeller sich einstellen. Da die oftmals verwendeten Aluminium-Legierungen des Impellers eine starke Temperatur-Abhängigkeit aufweisen, ist eine sorgfältige Analyse zur Festigkeitsbewertung essentiell.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit sollen die Wärmeflüsse zwischen Strömung, Radrückraum, Impeller und Rotor mit unterschiedlichen Ansätzen simulativ erfasst und bewertet werden. Die Arbeit startet dabei mit einer Literatur-Recherche und einer Darstellung des Standes der Technik. Am Beispiel einer Radialverdichterstufe soll anschliessend sowohl auf Basis von einfachen 0D/1D Modellen wie auch Strömungssimulationen mit Ansys CFX die thermische Situation analysiert werden. Die Ergebnisse sind anschliessend zu dokumentieren. Die Arbeit wird bei der ETH Spin-Off Firma CELEROTON in Volketswil durchgeführt. - Electrical Engineering

| Radialverdichter haben ihre Hauptaufgabe in der kontinuierlichen Erhöhung des Drucks einer Strömung. Dies erfolgt in dem schnell rotierenden Impeller, dem Diffusor und der Volute durch aerodynamische Prinzipien. Die Volute hat dabei einerseits die Aufgabe die Strömung in Umfangsrichtung zu sammeln, andererseits aber auch im Fall eines Defekts des Impellers das Containment sicherzustellen. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit soll ein basierender Ansatz zur instationären Abschätzung der auftretenden Kräfte verbessert werden. Hierzu ist zum Start eine Literatur-Recherche zur Evaluation des Standes der Technik auszuführen. Mit den gewonnenen Erkenntnissen soll eine Standard-Struktur für Containment-Simulationen erarbeitet und an den essentiellen Stellen (z.B. bzgl. der Materialdaten, des Simulationsumfangs, von Modellierungsansätzen der Verbindung Spiralgehäuse zu Gehäuse, ...) verbessert werden. Die Ergebnisse sollen zu externen Rechnungen verglichen werden. Eine abschliessende Dokumentation der Ergebnisse rundet die Arbeit ab. Die Arbeit wird bei der ETH Spin-Off Firma CELEROTON in Volketswil durchgeführt. - Electrical Engineering

| A current development at Celeroton AG is a 5kW, 48V-input DC/AC Converter to drive low-voltage turbo-compressor systems. However, by lack of detailed simulation models and their validation in hardware, the testing of such systems is not supported by simulated results that confirm proper operation, which makes commissioning difficult. Furthermore, such simulation models would be of great benefit in case of system redesign or designing new systems with similar specifications.
This work aims the implementation of a detailed simulation model of the existing turbo-compressor driver using Gecko Circuits or a similar simulation software. This includes understanding the schematics of the designed system, modeling each component that affects operation (including parasitics) and validating results by means of hardware measurements. Learning includes power-electronic topologies, circuit-simulation and PCB-design tools as well as lab work and proper measurement procedures. - Electrical Engineering
