- Beherrschung modernster Ingenieur-Werkzeuge (Matlab, Simulink, CAD, CAE, PDM)
InhaltMehrere Teams mit je 4-8 Studierenden der ETH, ergänzt durch Studierende anderer Hochschulen und Universitäten, realisieren während zwei Semestern ein Produkt. Ausgehend von einer marktorientierten Problemstellung werden alle Prozesse der Produktentwicklung realitätsnah durchschritten: Marketing, Konzeption, Design, Engineering, Simulation, Entwurf und Produktion. Die Teams werden durch erfahrene Coachs betreut. Ein einmaliges Lernerlebnis wird ermöglicht.
Innovationsideen aus der Industrie (z.T. auch aus Forschungsprojekten) werden gesammelt und durch den Lenkungsausschuss evaluiert. Aus ausgewählten Problemstellungen werden Aufgabenstellungen für die Teams formuliert.

KurzbeschreibungSoft and biohybrid robots are emerging fields taking inspiration from Nature to create integrated robots that are inherently safer to interact with. You will be able to create the structures, actuators, sensors, models, controllers, and machine learning architectures exploiting the deformable nature of these robots. You will apply the learned principles to challenges of your research domain.
LernzielLearning Objective 1: Convert any robotics challenge into a functional soft robotic physical prototype
Step 1: Formulate suitable functional requirements
Step 2: Select actuator material
Step 3: Design + fabricate suitable for the task
Step 4: Controller for basic functionality
Step 5: Learning Approach for complex robotic skills

Learning Objective 2: Formulate control and learning frameworks to highly articulated robots in real life scenarios
Step 1: Formulate the dynamic skills needed for the real life scenario
Step 2: Pick or combine suitable control and learning frameworks given the robot at hand
Step 3: Evaluate the control approach for a real life scenario
Step 4: Modify and enhance the control approach and repeat the evaluation

Learning Objective 3: Apply the principle of mechanical impedance and embodied intelligence to any research challenge within any domain
Step 1: Identify the moving aspects of the problem
Step 2: Choose and design the passive and actively-controlled degrees of freedom
Step 3: Pick the actuation material based on suitability to your challenge
Step 4: Design in detail multiple combinations of body and brain
Step 5: Simulate, build, test, fail, and repeat this often and quickly until the soft robot works for simple settings
Step 6: Upgrade and validate the robot for performances in real world conditions

Learning Objective 4: Rethink approaches to robotics by moving towards designs made of living materials
Step 1: Identify what problems could be easier to solve with a complex living material
Step 2: Scout for available works that have potentially tackled the problem with a living material
Step 3: Formulate a hypothesis for your new approach with a living material
Step 4: Design a minimum viable prototype (MVP) that properly highlights your new approach
InhaltStudents will cover a range of latest research insights on materials, fabrication technologies, and modeling approaches to design, simulate, and build soft and biohybrid robots.

Part 1: Functional and intelligent materials for use in soft and biohybrid robotic applications
Part 2: Design and design morphologies of soft robotic actuators and sensors
Part 3: Fabrication techniques including 3D printing, casting, roll-to-roll, tissue engineering
Part 4: Biohybrid robotics including microrobots and macrorobots; tissue engineering
Part 5: Mechanical modeling including minimal parameter models, finite-element models and ML-based models
Part 6: Closed-loop controllers of soft robots that exploit the robot's impedance and dynamics for locomotion and manipulation tasks
Part 7: Machine Learning approaches to soft robotics, for design synthesis, modeling, and control

A mandatory semester-long project will teach the participants to implement the skills and knowledge learned during the class by building their own soft robotic prototype or simulation. There is a mandatory pass/fail assignment to be submitted within the first two weeks of class to get a spot in the project.
