Medical Robotics 2 (4 ECTS)

Overview

Description:
This course unit will cover the following topics:

  • Geometric and kinematic modeling of various medical robots (rigid parallel robots, cable-driven robots, concentric-tube robots, flexible robots, etc.)
  • Modeling Needle-Tissue Interaction
  • Technical and Technological Challenges in Design and Perception in Medical Robotics
  • Hybrid Position/Force Control and Co-manipulation of Surgical Robots

Objectives:
This course is project-based. The objective is to address recent challenges in the field of surgical robotics, particularly in interventional radiology, cardiac surgery, ophthalmic surgery, and minimally invasive surgery. After identifying the challenges associated with manual procedures and defining a set of specifications, students develop a robotic solution. They design the various models needed to control the proposed robot and simulate its behavior.
