BiRoNZ: Bio-Robotics Network in Zurich

For free pizza and juice: please RSVP by sending an email on this link right here.


Goal Open to anyone who is interested in Bio-Robotics research (Bachelors, Masters, Phds, Postdocs, and others). A casual and informal atmosphere tailored to you. The main goal of this network is to bring together the young researchers in the vicinity of Zurich in order to increase momentum and quality of Bio-Robotics research. In particular, we would like to provide opportunities for young researchers to present crazy research topics, to practice presentations, to know what your neighbors are doing (in research that is!), and to ask (basic) questions that you cannot really ask in formal conferences. This network also serves as a platform to attract additional young students (e.g. Bachelors and Masters) joining the research community in the near future. Discussion Topics We organize an event/talk every month, one or two informal talks given by local students and scientists. A cross-section of robotics and biology: including but not limited to topics related to Mechanical engineering, Electrical engineering, Control engineering, Computer science, Artificial intelligence, Biomechanics, Neuroscience, Cognitive science, Psychology, Philosophy... Subscription to Mailing List and Questions Announcement are via homepage and mailing list. If you would like to sign up to our mailing list just send an email subject "bironz signup" containing your full name and email address to the organizers on this link right here. You can also use the same link to ask any questions about the network or make suggestions *Please do not send weird email addresses* Event Organizers and Affiliations Bogdan Vigaru - Rehabilitation Engineering Lab (RELab); Nandan Maheshwari - Bio-Inspired Robotics Lab (BIRL) ; Derek Leach - Bio-Inspired Robotics Lab (BIRL) & Matej Hoffmann - Artificial Intelligence Lab (AILab)	Image Gallery march11	Other talks/networks Course Registration (Seminar in Robotics for CSE) Brown Bag Lectures (AILab) ETH Zurich Distinguished Seminar in Robotics, Systems, and Controls (IRIS) Control Seminar series RITZ - Rehabilitation Initiative and Technology Platform Zurich * Robotics/Control Related Seminars(pdf) Available student projects in BiRoNZ labs Rehabilitation Engineering Lab Bio-Inspired Robotics Lab ETH Summer school on Soft Robotics
