Student Projects
If you are a highly motivated student at ETH Zurich in the fields of mechanical engineering, computer science, robotics or similar, and are looking for a student project, please do get in touch with us so we can discuss the possibilities. Below you'll find a number of currently open topics. If you are keen to work on one of our research areas in particular and cannot find a matching proposal, feel free to contact us anyways - perhaps we can identify a suitable topic together.
Robot Calibration with a Photogrammetric Sensor
Current robot calibration typically uses expensive laser trackers for accurate data collection. To make the calibration process more accessible, this work seeks to achieve laser tracker-level accuracy with affordable photogrammetric sensors. We employ probabilistic calibration models and advanced measurement methods to increase the resulting positioning accuracy.

Methodology for Sensor Selection and Placement for Efficient Thermal Field Reconstruction
Thermal drift constitutes one of the predominant effects reducing the positioning accuracy of robots. This work aims at developing a methodology to find the ideal number and locations of the temperature sensors used in the compensation. Thermal field imaging and different optimization and modelling techniques are used to reach this goal.

Industrial Grade and Scalable Multi Robot Path Planner
This master's thesis explores the development of an industrial-grade and scalable multi-robot path planner. In this research we adress the challenges of coordination of an arbitrary number of industrial robots in complex envirronment.
