Course Aims

This course aims to expose students to (i) biorobotics and biomedical microsystems, focusing on bio-inspired robotics, biohybrid robotics, medical micro/nanorobotics, and AI-assisted design for materials and locomotion efficiency. Students will explore how nature inspires robotic designs, how biohybrid systems integrate biological principles with robotic engineering, the applications of micro/nanorobotics in precision medicine, and AI-assisted tools for enhancing material compatibility, predicting degradation, and optimizing microrobotic Locomotion. The course integrates biorobotics and biomedical microsystems, examining their roles in diagnostics, drug dlivery, and therapeutic applications. By the end of the course, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of advanced biorobotics and their biomedical applications.
