Mechanical components, short overview/repetition of machine elements, Robot mechanisms, Kinematic parameters and calculations, Evaluation metrics and design methods, Redundant mechanisms and actuation, Human-robot interfaces, Intend detection (sensing) and haptic stimulation (actuators), Interface system design and evaluation, Mechanical and cognitive user models A flip-the-classroom seminar with student presentations and discussion is part of the lecture. The laboratory exercise will be a mini design project in which student groups create their own low-budget haptic human-machine interfaces.
