<p>Laboratory, three hours; outside study, three hours. Students use concepts in mechanical engineering, bioengineering, electrical engineering, and computer science to develop a robotic hand/arm that can complete series of unique tasks. Lecture topics cover mechanical design, bionics, rehabilitation, musculoskeletal systems modeling, controls, motors and actuation, and programming. Student projects culminate in oral presentation and final competition that tests versatility and robustness of robotic arm. Letter grading.</p>
