Die Biomechatronics Vorlesung ist nicht für Studenten geeignet, welche bereits die Vorlesung "Physical Human-Robot Interaction"(376-1504-00L) besucht haben, da sie ähnliche Themen abdeckt.

Matlab Kenntnisse sind vorteilhaft -> online Tutorial http://www.imrtweb.ethz.ch/matlab/


KurzbeschreibungDevelopment of mechatronic systems (i.e. mechanics, electronics, computer science and system integration) with inspiration from biology and application in the living (human) organism.
LernzielThe 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 combination with exercises. 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.
InhaltThe 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.
SkriptSlides will be distributed through moodle before the lectures.
