MSc Thesis Proposals 2022–2023: Topics on Robot Design Announced
Thesis opportunities in soft robotics, exoskeletons, and human-centered design now open for 2022–2023 at the Robot Design Lab
This year’s proposals emphasize the integration of soft robotics, bioinspired design, and human-centered applications. Projects include investigating motion expressiveness and the inclusion of soft components in a tabletop robot for social interaction with children, developing and characterizing 3D-printed soft actuators, and dynamically modeling fluidic muscles with a focus on hysteresis behavior. Other directions explore bioinspired motion control strategies for complex multi-body systems and the design of a personalized quasi-passive ankle exoskeleton optimized through human-in-the-loop approaches. Together, these topics highlight the lab’s research focus on advancing modular and adaptive robotic design while bridging mechanics, control, and human interaction.
