Class Description
Overview: Robotics has the potential to improve well-being for millions of people, support care givers, and aid the clinical workforce. This course brings together engineers, clinicians, and end-users to explore this exciting new field. It is project-based, interactive, and hands on, and involves working with stakeholders to develop prototypes that solve real-world problems. Students will explore the latest research in healthcare robotics, human-robot teaming, and health design.
Pre-Reqs: This course will involve design thinking, prototyping, and software development. Students with backgrounds in engineering should be comfortable with building and experimenting within their area of expertise. (e.g., CSE students should be experienced in software development, MAE students in rapid prototyping, etc.). Students with backgrounds in design should be comfortable employing mixed-methods approaches to designing with stakeholders. All students should be open to learning how to work with stakeholders from the community, including clinicians and people with disabilities.
