Learning objectives

Aim of this course is to give students the basic concepts of robotic surgery, where a robot is in direct contact with a human operator or may be guided from distance. Several real systems belong to this specific situation, such as teleoperation systems, tele-driving systems, and rehabilitation systems.
In the first part we will address the basic methods for the interaction analysis of robots with the environment and with the operator, including basic concepts of kinematics and dynamics.
Furthermore, we will present more specific topics related with the planning of the surgical procedure through medical images analysis, computation of the trajectory and guidance of the robot during a procedure through intra-operative imaging support.

Prerequisites and basic notions

The course requires knowledge in Mathematical Analysis I, Linear Algebra and Geometry, Fundamentals of Computer Science. Programming knowledge is also required.

Program

Basics of robotics I: Review of rigid bodies, elementary matrices, rotation, translation and quaternions
Basics of Robotics II: Kinematics of serial robots (direct, inverse, differential and static)
Basics of Robotics III: Kinematics of Parallel Robots (Direct, Inverse)
Basics of Robotics IV: Sensors, Actuators
Knowledge transfer: top-down and bottom-up
Basic technical knowledge of endoscopes and instruments
Imaging techniques: preoperative images (MR/CT), ultrasound
Segmentation of medical images
Tracking: from mechanical movement to ultrasound techniques
Calibration: from sensor calibration to calibration with the robot
Recording: image-to-device, inter-device and intra-device
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
Programming tools in ROS/Matlab environment, simulation software and medical software

Didactic methods

The course will consist of frontal lessons in the classroom, with the sharing of slides and in-depth material.
There will also be the possibility to follow the lectures in streaming.

Learning assessment procedures

The final grade will be determined by a written test and an oral presentation of the project.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

At the end of the course the student will have to demonstrate:
1. have a critical vision of the topics addressed during the course and the results obtained from the application of specific methods;
2. knowing how to apply the knowledge acquired to appropriately solve certain engineering problems with various degrees of complexity;
3. have achieved a good level of competence in the use of IT tools for the design of robotic devices, also through the use of simulation software.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The composition of the final grade:
2/3 Written test
1/3 Oral test
