Primarily designed for Health Sciences and Technology students.

The Biomechatronics lecture is not appropriate for students who already attended the lecture "Physical Human-Robot Interaction"(376-1504-00L), because it covers similar topics.

Matlab skills are beneficial-> online Tutorial Link

AbstractDevelopment of mechatronic systems (i.e. mechanics, electronics, computer science and system integration) with inspiration from biology and application in the living (human) organism.
ObjectiveThe objective of this course is to give an introduction to the fundamentals of biomechatronics, through lectures on the underlying theoretical/mechatronics aspects and application fields. In the exercises, these concepts will be intensified and trained on the basis of specific examples. The course will guide students through the design and evaluation process of such systems, and highlight a number of applications.

By the end of this course, you should understand the critical elements of biomechatronics and their interaction with biological systems, both in terms of engineering metrics and human factors. You will be able to apply the learned methods and principles to the design, improvement and evaluation of safe and efficient biomechatronics systems.
ContentThe course will cover the interdisciplinary elements of biomechatronics, ranging from human factors to sensor and actuator technologies, real-time signal processing, system kinematics and dynamics, modeling and simulation, controls and graphical rendering as well as safety/ethical aspects, and provide an overview of the diverse applications of biomechatronics technology.
Lecture notesSlides will be distributed through moodle before the lectures.

AbstractIn this one-week block course, students will apply the learnings of Medical Engineering I in the context of a specific challenge. In groups of three, the design and control of the FLEXO elbow exoskeleton will be improved to, and the solutions will be compared in a competition. Student will present and defend the gained insights in a poster presentation.
Objective- structure and plan a development process in a group of three
- apply the learnings of medical engineering I to a specific challenge
- characterize the performance of the developed solution using evaluation metrics from both engineering and human factors
- compare the solution against that of other groups in a competition
- convey and defend the gained insights in a technical poster presentation
ContentThis block course will allow students to integrate, apply and expand the learnings of the Medical Engineering I course, by adapting the sensing, signal processing and control as well as the design of the FLEXO elbow exoskeleton to a specific challenge. The developed solution will be compared to those of the other groups in the context of a competition and a technical poster presentation on the last day of the week. The course will further promote student’s skills in structuring a design process, problem-solving, prototyping, design, testing and trouble-shooting of software and hardware.
