PhD position in Electrohydraulic Actuators for Robotic Systems
Gefunden in: Talent CH C2 - Vor 6 Tagen
Job description
The doctoral studies will focus on the co-optimization of the structure and control of low voltage electrohydraulic actuators, which is an integrated process that starts from material selection and design choice suitable for mass fabrication and ends with the proper control policies. Materials dictate the fundamental physics within the actuators, and design determines actuation principles, which are crucial in efficiency, force, and speed improvements. Accurate and consistent fabrication of soft actuators is a must for future product developments. The ability to accurately control the actuators is key to a wide range of applications and can be acquired with help from the self-sensing capability of the actuators. The actuators will also be integrated into robotic systems as functional demonstrators that can operate in real-world environments.
The doctoral thesis work will focus on:
The actuator materials selection and design optimization Their characterization and the implementation of self-sensing capability The integration of actuators into robotic systems Scalable fabrication techniques including quality control of the actuatorsThe output of the Ph.D. thesis will be highly relevant as a competitive soft actuator element for building the next generation of soft and musculoskeletal robots.
Your profile
We are looking for a highly motivated, outstanding individual who is curious to continuously consider perspectives of different fields and work in an interdisciplinary environment. We particularly value diligence, perseverance, and curiosity in your day-to-day scientific work.
You should:
Hold a master's degree in an engineering field relevant to electrohydraulic actuators or soft robotics, such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or materials science Have an excellent track record and meet the general admission requirements for a doctorate at ETH Zurich. Have previous research experience in engineering-related topics Have previous experience working with actuators and robotic systems Have had exposure to thin film fabrication techniques and potentially be familiar with functional polymers Have experience in developing actuators, sensors, or other functional structures-
