What are the effects of cold water immersion on a molecular level? – A systematic literature research

Winter swimming/bathing has a long history and is a stressful condition of whole-body exposure to cold water; however, winter swimmers have achieved variable degrees of adaptation to cold. The question arises whether that winter swimming or bathing has any health benefits or whether it may confer potentially harmful effects. When practiced by individuals who are in good general health adopting a regular, graded and adaptive mode, winter swimming seems to confer cardiovascular, and other health benefits. On the other hand, unaccustomed individuals are at risk of death either from the initial neurogenic cold-shock response, or from progressive decrease of swimming efficiency or from hypothermia. This thesis should also put focus on the mechanistic effects how brown adipose tissue is activated by cold water immersion and which molecular factors could play a role.

Forschungspraxis: Automatic URDF and XML generator for mujoco for arbitrary robot hand models

Accurate simulation of robotic systems are crucial for the fast development of reliable robotic solutions. Grasping with dexterous robot hands, as one of the main fields of robotics in recent years, would greatly benefit from high accuracy simulations, as understanding how to use robot hands and how to build them properly, given the current technological limitations, is not a trivial task.

Your work will be to use an existing robot hand simulation in Mujoco and develop an algorithm to generate the corresponding URDF and XML codes for an arbitrary robot hand with an arbitrary tendon configuration, which can then be simulated in Mujoco.

You can find more information here.

Forschungspraxis: Tendon based simulation for an arbitrary robot hand model

Grasping with dexterous robot hands has become one of the main research trends in recent years. The insights from such knowledge have the potential to expand the range of applications of robotics significantly. However, understanding how to use robot hands and how to build them properly, given the current technological limitations, is not a trivial task.

As part of the aims of MIRMI, we are interested in developing a general simulation environment in which different tendon-based robot hand prototypes and tendon configurations can be tested and evaluated. Doing so would allow us to understand limitations of current designs and also the capabilities of different control strategies.

Your work will be to use an existing robot hand simulation in Mujoco and extend it by the implementation of tendon simulation. Additionally, you will develop an algorithm to generate the corresponding XML code for arbitrary tendon configurations, which can then be simulated in Mujoco.

You can learn more here.

Effect of caffeine ingestion on rifle shooting performance in biathletes under preceding physical load

It is well known that caffeine ingestion improves endurance performance but the effects on shooting performance during physical exertion are less clear. In a sport like biathlon were endurance and shooting are combined it is therefore important to understand if caffeine ingestion influences the shooting performance.

Bachelor- und Masterarbeiten/Valorization of Waste Materials by Green Solvents: Extraction of Keratin from Chicken Feathers

Increasing awareness of the environmental impact motivates investment in research to reduce waste from the chemical and biological industries. Meat consumption is increasing yearly, and the poultry industry accounts for approximately 45 % of the total meat consumption. The poultry industry produced feather waste estimated at around 12 million tons worldwide in 2019. Feathers comprise up to 90 % of keratin, which can be extracted and reused in various applications.

Accelerated implementation for Contact-level human hand-object surfaces

Being able to understand how humans grasp objects is one of the main research topics in recent years. The insights of such knowledge would benefit greatly a variety of fields, including robotics manipulation, which is one of the main unsolved topics in robotics. However, understanding contacts during hand interactions is not a trivial task.

Your work will be to accelerate this algorithm using FPGAs and algorithm optimization. Your work will be part of the outcomes of the CeTI project (https://ceti.one/). Therefore, you will have the opportunity of working in a co-supervised environment with a supervisor from MIRMI and a supervisor from the Technische Universität Dresden. You will also get to know people directly involved in the project and get involved with it in more depth.
