The purpose of this course
is to provide a perspective on robotics technologies applied to (and inspired
by) themes of biomedical research and practice. The course will be divided in a
lecture part on the foundations of robotics and on biological movement control.
This part will be followed by seminars on specific topics such as brain-machine
interfaces, rehabilitation robotics, prosthetic devices, and robot-aided
surgery. There will be a midterm project (on the lecture part) and a final
project. Students will be expected to make presentations and participate in
discussions of relevant research literature. Contacting the instructors is not
required but recommended.
