      Content of Learning Activity

      Introduction: industrial and medical robots, rehabilitation and active prosthetic/orthotic devices, typical structures, challenges, specificities of medical robots (safety, sterility, surgical theater), advantages of robots in medicine, examples of applications Robot Kinematics: degrees of freedom, 3D rigid-body kinematics, direct and inverse geometric and kinematic models, manipulability, trajectory planning Actuation: electrical motors in robotics, mechanical transmissions Sensors: proprioceptive and exteroceptive sensors for position, velocity and force Robot Dynamics: direct and inverse dynamic models of robots Control of industrial robots: joint/operational space control, decentralized control, position/velocity feedback, feedforward compensation, gravity compensation, inverse dynamic control, force control Control strategies in biomedical applications: compliance control, hybrid force/motion control, haptic control Some applications of robots in surgery: orthopedic surgery, laparoscopic surgery (AESOP, ZEUS, Da Vinci robots), radiotherapy, technical requirements, interoperative sensors, augmented reality, telemanipulation Rehabilitation and prosthetic/orthotic medical devices for lower limbs: main characteristics of human walking (neuro-musculo-skeletal system), mechanical design, control strategies Design of medical devices: specifications, standards (european directives 93/42/EEC and 2007/47/EC, ISO13485, ISO22523, IEC62304, ISO14971, …) Testimonies from physicians, visits
