Advanced Biomechanics and Assistive Robotics
ENG-SCI 224
Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
This course will study advanced topics of human movement, emphasizing applications in rehabilitation, athletics, and assistive devices. We will rapidly review biomechanical principles of movement, experimental data collection techniques, simulation with musculoskeletal modeling, and cutting-edge topics in assistive robotics. The course will focus on current cutting-edge research in the fields of biomechanics and assistive robotics. A semester-long project will enable students to apply these topics to solve a problem of interest relating to human movement or assisted mobility and practice scientific writing.
Course Notes
Open to graduate students with engineering background in recommended prep topics. Undergraduate students that have taken BE 124 are eligible to enroll.
Available for Harvard Cross Registration
