Fully funded PhD position in micro-robotics and multi-material topology optimization at the FEMTO-ST Institute , Université Marie et Louis Pasteur, France. The project is framed by the RoboTop ANR-funded project and focuses on the structural shaping of fully integrated microrobots using topology optimization. The research combines analytical modeling , numerical simulation , programming , and experimental validation to design microrobots with integrated actuation and sensing capabilities. The wo...

ETH Zurich’s Soft Robotics Lab in the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher – Tactile Sensing for Dexterous Manipulation . This is an industry-funded research collaboration focused on developing compact, durable tactile sensors for dexterous robotic hands so that manipulation remains reliable even when vision is limited by clutter, occlusion, or deformable objects. The project puts touch at the center of robotic hand design. Building on the lab’s e...
