Ongoing PhD theses

COSMER even though a young laboratory is dynamic in its research agenda, pursuing several research projects and supervising a number of PhD theses (see Table below for ongoing theses projects).  COSMER PhD theses are often conducted in partnership with the LIS laboratory and the DYNI team as well as in collaboration with the MIO laboratory, international research and industry collaborators.
– 3 PhD theses related to robotics.
– 4 PhD theses related to mechanical engineering and eco-design.
