Undergraduate Prerequisites: Consent of Instructor - Graduate Prerequisites: Mechanical Design (CAD), Experience in Fabrication, Experience with Programming/Automation, Technical Communication (e.g., writing and presentation). Consent of Instructor - This course will be composed of lectures, tutorials, and group work. We will study the design, mechanics, materials, manufacturing, and control of robots and associated technologies for medical applications. We will cover theory, on medical robotics and case studies, including examples from medical companies and research groups.This class is aimed toward graduate students in engineering; no medical background is required. We will study and explore design principles of different mechatronic components and systems for medical robots. We will cover in-depth especially the meso-scale actuators, sensors, and body construction methods.
