MSc Thesis Proposals 2025–2026: Topics on Robot Design Announced
Thesis opportunities in soft robotics, exoskeletons and robots for social interaction now open for 2025–2026 at the Robot Design Lab
MSc thesis proposals for the academic year 2025–2026 in the field of robot design have now been announced at the Robot Design Lab. As in previous years, topics will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and late allocations (i.e., post-January 2026) are rarely accepted and require prior discussion regarding scope, lab capacity, and timeline feasibility.
This year, the lab continues to advance human-centered and intelligent robotic systems through projects spanning multi-material high-temperature 3D printing, hybrid soft robotics with integrated sensing, continual-learning control of compliant joints for social robots, AI-augmented modeling of soft structures, the development of assistive soft exoskeletons, and data-driven modeling of smart servomotors. Together, these proposals reflect the lab’s emphasis on soft–rigid integration, adaptive and AI-supported control, and experimentally grounded mechatronic design, offering students opportunities to engage with interdisciplinary work at the intersection of mechanics and control.
