Course description and aims
Developments of medical devices in medical-engineering collaboration are quite important to meet the contemporary social needs. Especially many robot technologies have been introduced into medical front. Research and development of medical robots become the central core of medical-engineering collaboration.
This course introduces development examples of medical robots and presents elemental techniques necessary for medical robots such as mechanism, sensing, actuators, control, interfaces and so on. Students are expected to learn knowledge and way of thinking useful in developments of medical robots.
Student learning outcomes
Acquire ability to design/control new medical robots understanding the followings:
・Understand the current state, types, rolls of medical robots, advantages/disadvantages of various mechanisms, and difficulty in force sensing for them.
・Understand types and characteristics of actuators, control systems and operating interface of medical robots.
