Course Description:
Medical robotics is a rapidly developing industry that is vital to healthcare systems seeking better outcomes at reduced overall cost. This module introduces students to the workings of robots and how this is applied in solving both surgical and broader healthcare challenges. Students learn through lectures, practical sessions and tutorial sessions requiring interaction with scientific literature. Two units of assessment require students to develop an understanding of the general theory behind robotics and identify the particularities applying to medical robots. Case studies are a critical part of the module. These are industrially or research based and require students to think about clinical conditions, ethical considerations and different attitudes to healthcare across the world. Practical sessions enable students to work with each other to solve problems and demonstrate the theoretical components of the module.
