Summary

 

Human Neuromechanical Control and Learning  - BIOE97089

Aims

This module will provide a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of the control of human movement from the perspective of both adaptation of the neural control system and adaptation of properties of the mechanical plant, incorporating approaches from physiology, engineering and computational neuroscience.

Human Centred Design of Assistive and Rehabilitation Devices  - BIOE60007

Aims

The ageing population and the wish to improve life quality, as well as the economic pressure to work longer, require the development of intuitive and efficient assistive and rehabilitation devices. Rehabilitation technology illustrates the paradigm for emergent systems to work with humans. In this module, you will learn to design rehabilitation systems and assistive devices, integrating mechatronics, human factors and computer games. You will also learn how to assess current systems against the principles of human centred design.
