Recommended Prerequisites

Matlab

Teaching Methods

Theoretical classes with detailed presentation, using audiovisual means, of the concepts, principles and fundamental theories and solving basic practical exercises to illustrate the practical interest of discussed topics.

In laboratory classes the students implement a mini-project addressing robot control for medical applications.

The evaluation consists of a final exam covering all course materials (40%) and a report with experimental demonstration of the mini-project (60%).

Learning Outcomes

Design of control architectures for robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery. Design of control architectures for robotic-assisted tele-medicine. Evaluation of medical robots.

Work Placement(s)

No
