This course provides a perspective on robotics technologies applied to (and inspired by) themes of biomedical research and practice. These include 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 lecturing and develop research projects, both individually and as teams
After completing this course the students will be able to:
This is an introductory course in the application of robotics technologies to a variety of biomedical activities and research areas. 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.
Modeling and control of robot architectures
Mandatory attendance.
> Lessons: 20 Hours (see topics above)
> Example/practice 12 hours - Students are requested to engage in a number of activities, including lecturing and develop research projects, both individually and as teams
Students will be evaluated based on
