Abstract

In this one-week block course, students will apply the learnings of Medical Engineering I in the context of a specific challenge. In small groups, the design and control of the EduExo elbow exoskeleton will be improved to, and the solutions will be compared in a competition. Student will present and defend the gained insights in a poster presentation.

Objective

- structure and plan a development process in a small group - apply the learnings of medical engineering I to a specific challenge - characterize the performance of the developed solution using evaluation metrics from both engineering and human factors - compare the solution against that of other groups in a competition - convey and defend the gained insights in a technical poster presentation

Content

This block course will allow students to integrate, apply and expand the learnings of the Medical Engineering I course, by adapting the sensing, signal processing and control as well as the design of the EduExo elbow exoskeleton to a specific challenge. The developed solution will be compared to those of the other groups in the context of a competition and a technical poster presentation on the last day of the week. The course will further promote student’s skills in structuring a design process, problem-solving, prototyping, design, testing and trouble-shooting of software and hardware.
