RESEARCH

Our research activities focus on the mechanical design and analysis of robots and other mechatronic systems. Our main applications are low-cost service robots, ranging from rehabilitation exoskeletons and motion sensing systems to humanoid robots and manipulators.

We are also interested in the history of machines and mechanisms, and we analyze and reproduce historical mechanisms, varying from civil and automotive to musical applications.

THESES

We are available for supervising thesis projects within the BSc in Engineering Sciences and the MSc in Mechatronics. We offer a range of theoretical and practical activities including (but not limited to) the following topics:

  • Design and simulation of mechanisms
  • Robot analysis and design
  • Experimental demonstration of mechatronic systems
  • Medical and rehabilitation robotics
  • Parallel and cable-driven robots and mechanisms
  • Continuum and soft robots
  • History of mechanism and machine science
