Teaching and student projects

Courses

Biorob participates to the following courses: Legged robots (MICRO-507), Computational motor control (CS-432), Analysis and modelling of locomotion (BIOENG-404) , Robotics Practicals (MICRO-453), and Topics in Autonomous robotics (ENG-615). It also organizes the interdisciplinary robot competition of the school of engineering and the EPFL Assistive Technologies Challenge (ATC).

EPFL student project information

Master and bachelor students at the EPFL are welcome to do their research projects at BioRob. Every year we host around 15 students for master and semester research projects, see the list below. Visiting students are also welcome to join BioRob, but it should be noted that no funding is offered for those projects (see internships below).

Interested students can find topics at our project database. You can contact the responsible who will let you know if the project is still available and suitable. A list of completed student projects is available below. The main results of previous projects, including reports, videos, software, etc. can be found on the project pages (follow the links of individual projects).

Students from STI masters can also take part in the interdisciplinary robot competition and in the Assistive Technologies Challenge (ATC) as a semester project (see websites for more info).

Other useful information for students working on a project at BioRob are the Students FAQ, Project Guidelines, Coding Standards and our internal Wiki.

Internships (please read carefully)

We sometimes host internships to work on some of our projects for students under three conditions: students should (1) find a responsible assistant willing to supervise them, (2) have their own funding/scholarship, and (3) be accepted by EPFL with an exchange student status.

Responsible assistant: Possible project topics and responsible assistants can be found in our project database. You can contact the responsible who will let you know if the project is still available and suitable for an internship (please provide a full CV). Note that we receive many requests and are often overbooked.

Funding: We can not offer funding, as we see these projects as part of training. The best is to come with your own scholarship. Note that Lausanne is expensive, you should count approx. 1600 Swiss francs per month. You can also try to apply for the Summer Program in the School of Life Sciences, which provides funding. We can unfortunately not accept students from the E3 program as these internships are paid by labs. In some cases, we can provide support letters for ThinkSwiss Research Scholarships. In any case, the first step is to check our list of projects and discuss with the responsible assistants about suitability. If there is a good match, we can write a support letter for a scholarship application.

Exchange student status: Another important condition is to be accepted as an exchange student. The administrative steps for this have to be made through the EPFL student academic service. See here: https://www.epfl.ch/education/international/en/coming-to-epfl/ and here: https://www.epfl.ch/education/international/en/coming-to-epfl/project/.

Remote internships: We do this rarely as we are overbooked, but this is sometimes possible if the responsible assistant agrees.
