Elective
2nd Cycle Studies - Mestrado
Recommended Prerequisites
Robotics, Control Systems
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.
Laboratory classes are for implementing a mini-project addressing robot control for medical applications.
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.
