Project Database

This page contains the database of possible research projects for master and bachelor students in the Biorobotics Laboratory (BioRob). Visiting students are also welcome to join BioRob, but it should be noted that no funding is offered for those projects. To enroll for a project, please directly contact one of the assistants (directly in his/her office, by phone or by mail). Spontaneous propositions for projects are also welcome, if they are related to the research topics of BioRob, see the BioRob Research pages and the results of previous student projects.

721 – Development of a compact motor module with torque feedback control
Category:semester project
Keywords:C, C++, Communication, Control, Electronics, Embedded Systems, Feedback, Firmware, Programming, Prototyping, Robotics
Type:40% theory, 30% hardware, 30% software
Responsible: (MED 1 1626, phone: 38676)
Description:[Application closed] This project aims to develop a compact motor module for a salamander robot. The module is expected to have the following features: (1) A compact size to fit into the trunk and the legs of the robot. (2) Direct measurement and closed-loop control of output torque. (3) Easy-to-use embedded microcontroller that can be daisy-chained and communicate with the single board computer. This project will mainly focus on the control system design and embedded system programming. Mechanical design and manufacturing may be involved but not compulsory. Students with relevant project experience or a solid background in control theory are preferred. Students who are interested in this project could send CV, transcripts, and materials that can demonstrate project experience (videos, slides, reports, etc.), if possible, to qiyuan.fu@epfl.ch.
