Course Objectives: |
The goal of this course to teach the fundamentals in robotics and human biomechanics for the modeling, simulation, and control of multi-body articulated systems; to give the knowledge of technologies used in movement modeling, sensing, and control; to define basic concepts in robotics and biomechanics. Focus given on the definitions, the concepts, and the methodologies used in multi-disciplinary research at the intersection between robotics and human biomechanics. The course presents the current and possible future applications of human movement study in robotics, orthopeadics, sports medicine, biomechanics, and computer animation. |
