Biorobotics Laboratory BioRob

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.

Human-exoskeleton dynamics and control

726 – Fall detection with an active hip exoskeleton
Category:master project (full-time), internship
Keywords:Balance Control, Control, Data Processing, Dynamics Model, Experiments, Kinematics Model, Locomotion, Machine learning, Robotics, Treadmill
Type:20% theory, 10% hardware, 70% software
Responsible: (MED 3 1015, phone: 31153)
Description:Exoskeletons have experienced an unprecedented growth in recent years and portable exoskeletons have demonstrated the possibility to increase the endurance, reduce the energetic expenditure and increase the performance during walking. In our lab, a hip-joint active hip orthosis (“eWalk”) has been prototyped and tested in recent years. In order to have a correct coordination between human and robot, exoskeletons must be able to detect changes in the gait pattern and provide assistance accordingly. To this day, fall detection and prevention have not been addressed by many wearable devices. This project intends to address this challenge by designing, implementing and validating a novel algorithm. If interested, please send an email with your CV and previous experiences that could be relevant to the project.
