Assignment to Modules

Further Information

Courses are together with exams the building blocks for modules. Please keep in mind that information on the contents, learning outcomes and, especially examination conditions are given on the module level only – see section "Assignment to Modules" above.

additional remarks After attending this lecture, you'll know about:Analyzing the pros and cons of the use of robots in existing surgical workflowsFundamentals of modes of operation, compiling requirements, specifying components and integration aspects of systemsConception and modeling of solutions for problems based on technical and algorithmic approachesDefinition of a clinical project for enhancing surgical applications by the use of roboticsThe lecture is structured into three areas:State of the Art and EnvironmentRobotics BasicsBasics for Designing a Surgical Robotics ApplicationYou will have the opportunity to:Learn about the cutting edge research in surgical roboticsTalk to specialists from technology developmentDevelop and present your own approach of robotics assistance in the operating roomDo practical work and pass a final testThe application-oriented course begins with a presentation of current surgical interventions with robotics assistance and correspondent research projects, analysing benefits and drawbacks. Then, basic knowledge about surgical techniques is presented. Several lectures put the focus on background knowledge that is required for computer scientists to include robotics in their research projects. The acquired knowledge is applied by the students to develop a solution to an existing clinical problem using robotics assistance.Further information will be provided in the moodle online course.
