D0 Materials and Processes Archlet GmbH At Archlet, we are rethinking procurement processes. With data intelligence, agility, and transparency, we empower procurement professionals. The ever increasing amount of available data and the corresponding complexity in procurement are daily struggles when companies try to define their optimal purchasing scenario. In order to optimize their sourcing processes companies either work Excel-based or with complex, non-user friendly software solutions that do not solve the entire complexity. That is why we have developed an intelligent cloud-based sourcing advisory platform that provides our users with all procurement-relevant information, at their fingertips. Our web application accelerates sourcing processes by its intuitive and user-friendly UI. We combine external market insights with internal data to increase transparency and identify untapped savings potential in sourcing.

E5 Cyber-physical Systems ETH Interactive Geometry Lab

We present a stretch-sensing soft glove to interactively capture hand poses with high accuracy and without requiring an external optical setup. Our device can be fabricated and calibrated at low cost, using simple tools available in most fabrication labs.

The network is trained only once, using an inexpensive off the-shelf hand pose reconstruction system to gather the training data. The per-user calibration is then performed on-the-fly using only the glove. Comparing against commercial data gloves, we achieve a 35% improvement in reconstruction accuracy.

A8.5 Technology for Health* Prolongate Most protein-based drugs have a short circulatory half-life in the patient and therefore require frequent injections, which are expensive and a great inconvenience. The most popular strategy to extend the circulatory half-life of protein drugs is chemical conjugation with a "stealth polymer", which reduces elimination via the kidneys. Currently, this modification can only be achieved following purification of the protein from the production host.The central innovation of our work is a microbiological process in which genetically modified bacteria produce ready-to-use protein drugs, modified with a natural sugar polymer. The sugar polymer used is also found in the human body and on the surface of certain pathogenic bacteria that use it to camouflage themselves from the immune system. Our approach significantly simplifies the production process and yields a precise, well-defined product compared to state-of-the-art technologies. In our startup we are planning to apply this platform technology to develop a robust pipeline of next-generation protein drugs.*Prolongate is part of the ETH Pioneer Fellowship Program and will exhibit at the booth of the ieLabs (A8).

Focus Projects Focus Projects The Focus Projects promote project-oriented learning. Bachelor students develop a concept, design, calculate and build a product; working together in teams from the initial idea through to a fully-functioning prototype. They acquire the necessary knowledge either through individual study, attending courses, or discussion with their professor. Projects are generally carried out in conjunction with partners in industry.

A3 Focus Projects adero adero is an autonomous indoor delivery robot. Its goal is to autonomously deliver a broad range of goods in indoor environments, combining state of the art technology with an appealing design. As a challenge a two-wheeled and therefore inherently unstable system was chosen. The robot was developed during 9 months within the scope of a student project by 11 engineering students of ETH and 4 design students of ZHdK. The first use-case is the delivery of Jelmoli products at Zurich airport.
