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 presents elemental techniques on kinematics and mechanisms necessary for developing medical robots and introduces development examples of medical robots. Students are expected to learn knowledge and way of thinking useful in the development of medical robots.
Student learning outcomes
Acquire ability to design new medical robots understanding the followings:
・Understand the current state, types, rolls of medical robots, and advantages and disadvantages of various mechanisms.
・Understand the difficulties in designing medical robots, which is necessary to acquire the ability to cope with the difficulties.
Keywords
