The primary goal of this project is to improve and test the design of a high-density intramuscular electromyography (EMG) sensor. This work will be conducted in close collaboration with the LKT and the WTM at FAU.

Tasks:

• Design and develop enhancements for the existing high-density intramuscular EMG sensor
• Identify and examine alternative sensor materials
• Conduct thorough testing and validation of the improved sensor design
• Document the design process, testing methods, and results
• Coordinate the research project with LKT and WTM and serve as a key contact person

Requirements:

• Innovative thinking and strong analytical & problem-solving skills
• Solid knowledge in CAD
• Basic knowledge of electrical circuits is beneficial
• Ability to work carefully and diligently throughout the research process
• Proficiency in both English or German at a professional level to ensure effective collaboration
• Ability to work independently and sound time management skills

This project aims to develop a compact system for detecting and analyzing lower-limb movement based on force sensors. The sensor system should be wearable, lightweight, and capable od collecting and wirelessly transmitting real-time data for continuous (12h) activity monitoring.

Tasks:

• Integrate force sensors into insoles or similar wearable platforms
• Design and build a small, portable signal acquisition and wireless transmission unit
• Collect, transmit and analyze motion data in real time

Requirements:

• Solid experience in circuit design and embedded systems
• Proficient in Python for data processing and analysis
• Basic knowledge of CAD and 3D printing is a plus
• Independent, motivated, and able to start soon
• Good communication in English
