Robotics is a multidisciplinary technology, with elements from computer, electrical and mechanical engineering and with an increasing spectrum of biomedical applications. These include basic research in sensory-motor systems, advanced surgical and diagnostic techniques, Brain and body machine interfaces, prosthetics and rehabilitation. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES After completing this course, the student will be able to: Identify and describe different types of medical robots and their potential applications Know basic concepts in kinematics, dynamics, and control relevant to medical robotics Develop the analytical and experimental skills necessary to design and implement robotic assistance for different biomedical applications Be familiar with the state of the art in applied medical robotics and medical robotics research Understand the various roles that robotics can play in healthcare TEACHING METHODS The purpose of this course is to provide a perspective on robotics technologies applied to (and inspired by) themes of biomedical research and practice. Robotics is a multidisciplinary technology, with elements from computer, electrical and mechanical engineering and with an increasing spectrum of biomedical applications. These include basic research in sensory-motor systems, advanced surgical and diagnostic techniques, Brain and body machine interfaces, prosthetics and rehabilitation. The course aims at reaching an appropriate balance between basic notions and applications. Students are requested to engage in a number of activities, including software development, lecturing and develop research projects, both individually and as teams. SYLLABUS/CONTENT The purpose of this course is to provide a perspective on robotic technologies applied to (and inspired by) themes of biomedical research and practice. The first part of the course is intended to provide a background of formal instruments for understanding control of biomedical robotic devices, biological movement control and their possible relations. The second part is devoted to in-depth analysis of the specific applications. • Biological movement control: hardware and software • Robots for biomedical research • Surgery robotics, teleoperation, cooperative manipulation • Brain and Body machine interfaces • Prosthetics • Neuro-Rehabilitation Robotics • Assistive robotics • Biomimetic robotics RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY Siciliano,Khatib, Springer Handbook of Robotics, Springer or Spong, M.
