Content | Biorobotics is a rapidly evolving field at the intersection of robotics, biomechanics, neuroscience and machine learning. Biorobotic systems serve as a tool to investigate principles of biological movement generation and as a basis for biomimetic development of novel technologies. Application fields are e.g., mobile robotics, prosthetics, assistive devices and rehabilitation robotics. In the lecture, we give an overview of the field. Topics cover are e.g., robotics concepts, biological movement generation, motors and artificial muscles, bio-inspired sensors, soft-robotics, rehabilitation robotics. In the seminar, students will get hand-son experience in builidng their own small biorobotic systems, arduino-based controllers, biorobotic computer simulations, and the will explore neuroprosthetic concepts. |
|
Objectives | 1) Students will learn to identify and understand new concepts in biorobotics and connect them to key concepts from related interdisciplinary fields. |
