B032687 - BIOMEDICAL ROBOTICS

Italian

The course «ROBOTICA BIOMEDICA» aims to provide basic knowledge and methodology for the design and implementation of robotic solutions for biomedical applications. The course is divided in three parts: 1) it will present the main fundamental topics of robotics; 2) it will touch the main developmental topics and biomedical applications; 3) it will provide basic competencies to program a robot and create the behavior of a robot in simulated environments.
