Course Aims | ||||||||||
This course aims to expose students to (i) robotic systems developed by applying concepts from nature and biology to engineered systems; and (ii) biomedical robots. The objective is for students to learn the principles behind the bio-inspired robots from biological counterparts, to learn how robotics are applied in biological engineering from molecular to macro levels, and to translate extracted biological solutions into robotic systems. The course intends to enhance students’ knowledge in dynamics, physics of scaling, sensing, biomechanics, and locomotion, taking inspiration and examples from nature and biomedical devices. | ||||||||||
