| 151-0061-10L | Engineering Tool: Scientific Writing with LaTeX and Vector Graphics   The Engineering Tools courses are for MAVT Bachelor’s degree students only. Number of participants limited to 80. | 0.4 credits | 1K | O. Lambercy | |
| Abstract | This course provides insights into the structure and compilation of scientific papers and publications using LaTeX as well as open source software for image editing and the creation of vector graphics. LaTeX is a typesetting tool that separates text format and layout. It is widely used for reports and publications in the scientific domain. | ||||
| Learning objective | By looking at specific examples during class you will obtain an overview on composing scientific papers (e.g. bachelor theses, semester theses, master theses) using LaTeX and acquire the most important commands to typeset complex formulas, tables and graphics. | ||||
| Content | -- layout of scientific reports -- writing with LaTeX (structure, formatting, formulas, tables, graphics, references, table of contents, hyperlinks, packages) based on a template for bachelor/ semester/ master theses. -- graphic design and illustration using open source software and Matlab -- including PDF files in the report (project description, data sheets) -- managing bibliography databases | ||||
| Literature | http://www.relab.ethz.ch/education/courses/engineering-tools-latex.html | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Particular: The exercises will be done on your personal laptop (at least one laptop per two students). The entire LaTeX package, Inkscape and Gimp should be installed in advance. | ||||
| 376-0210-00L | Biomechatronics 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 http://www.imrtweb.ethz.ch/matlab/ | 4 credits | 3G | R. Riener, N. Gerig, O. Lambercy | |
| Abstract | Development of mechatronic systems (i.e. mechanics, electronics, computer science and system integration) with inspiration from biology and application in the living (human) organism. | ||||
| Learning objective | The 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. | ||||
| Content | The 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 notes | Slides will be distributed through moodle before the lectures. | ||||

| 377-0607-00L | Medical Engineering II Only for Human Medicine BSc | 2 credits | 2P | O. Lambercy | |
| Abstract | In 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. | ||||
| Learning 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 | ||||
| Content | This 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. | ||||
| Literature | Slides, exercises and LabVIEW code of the Medical Engineering I course. | ||||
