The Multi-Scale Robotics Lab develops novel actuation methods for endoscopic devices utilizing magnetic navigation systems (MNS). In MNS, an external magnetic field applies forces and torques on magnets attached to the endoscopes. To control these endoscopes, precise shape estimation techniques are required. Current methods try to estimate the endoscope’s shape by measuring the external field along the endoscope using hall-sensors. This method requires precise knowledge about the applied external field and often lacks in localization precision in certain directions.

Electrophysiological recording systems, such as patch-clamp rigs and in-vitro neural interfaces, are designed to capture minute voltage signals (<100 µV) produced by electrogenic cells. These systems often comprise multiple instruments that face electromagnetic compatibility challenges, including ground loops and conflicting electric and magnetic fields. This project seeks to investigate the underlying causes of these issues and develop solutions to enhance the reliability and robustness of electrophysiological recordings. - Biosensor Technologies, Electrical Engineering, Engineering/Technology Instrumentation

Diaxxo (diaxxo.com) is a start-up originated at ETH Zürich, where in the past 4 years we have
developed and prototyped an innovative Point-of-Care Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) device. Our
vision is to bring the power of molecular diagnostics to every doctor’s office, thanks to our new
pre-loaded PCR test kits that allow for simpler and faster sample preparation steps. In 2020 our
devices have been used by more than 250 laypeople for the rapid detection of COVID-19 in a field
study that we run at ETH Zürich, and our systems are currently being tested at the Swiss Tropical and
Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH). - Biology

Following trauma or due to degeneration it can be necessary to replace one or more intervertebral discs with an implant, a so-called Total Disc Replacement (TDR). Such devices enable motion though surfaces articulating against each other. While this treatment is clinically successful, it is connected to considerable complication and reoperation rates. Therefore, we are optimizing the design of such an implant to address these issues.
While many different designs and design types have been proposed and are used in clinical practice, there is no consensus on what design or design type is the most beneficial. However, it is hypothesized, that replicating the situation that is present in healthy (asymptomatic) subjects as closely as possible, is optimal. Since the motions of the cervical spine are coupled (coupling of rotation and translation as well as multiple rotations) the optimal design of the articulating surfaces is not obvious. Therefore, this master’s thesis project aims at designing the implants articulating surfaces using parametric design optimization in LS-OPT based on finite element simulations. - Engineering and Technology
