5 ECTS credits
145 h study time
Offer 1 with catalog number 4023341FNR for all students in the 1st semester at a (F) Master - specialised level.
Position of the Course:
The aim of the course is to give the student a basic insight in the field of robotics and an overview of different biomedical robots, understanding the synergies and difficulties in robot control and human-robot interaction
Content:
PART 1 (15h HOC):
The first part of the course acts about what a robot is and how its behaviour can be described. The lectures include: - Forward and Inverse kinematics - Forward and Inverse dynamics
PART 2 (21h HOC):
The second part of the course describes the control of robots in general and applied to specific biomedical robots, such as exoskeletons and surgical robots. The lectures include: - Controlling the motion of a robot - Physical human-robot interaction: interaction forces and compliance - Sensors and signals
PART 3 (18h WPO/10h ZELF):
The third part of the course consists of a project where the students assemble and control a 1DOF exoskeleton and analyse a relevant scientific paper.
