Active Prosthesis Control Using the DVS

The goal of the thesis is to develop a robust knee tracking algorithm for prosthetic use. This is a trilateral collaborative project between the INI, the robotics and perception group (ailab, UZH) and the sensory-motor systems lab (MAVT, ETHZ). This project aims to substitute the goniometers (angle measurement devices for prosthesis control) a that extract the knee angle on the sound leg. This would allow to have a fully embedded prosthesis control without any external parts. Read more … Active Prosthesis Control Using the DVS

High-Speed Vision-Based Pose Estimation for Micro Aerial Vehicles using DVS Sensor

This project aims to use a DVS for pose estimation in micro aerial vehicles (MAV) i.e. quadcopter robots. Read more … High-Speed Vision-Based Pose Estimation for Micro Aerial Vehicles using DVS Sensor

Visual control of dynamic actuators

Athropomimetic robots such as ECCE robot do not only copy the form of humans but also the way we actuate our joints which makes them very hard to control. In this project visual feedback from the DVS should be used to facilitate the control. Read more … Visual control of dynamic actuators
