The evolution of medical robotics is a new and exciting development. Medical robotics brings together many disparate areas of research such as development and modeling of robotic systems, design, control, safety in medical robotics, regulatory and ethics, haptics (sense of touch), ergonomics, and last but not the least, medicine. The primary goal of this course is to acquaint the students with the fundamentals of robot design, development, and control and different areas of research that lead to the development of medical robotic systems. We will also cover additional topics specific to medical robotics such as medical image guidance. The course will include a project, where students will learn to design, develop, build, and control a medical robot.
