ACIT4830 Special Robotics and Control Subject Emneplan

This course covers topics that reflect the breadth and multidisciplinary nature of biomedical engineering. Material for the course are createad in cooperation with researchers, medical professionals and representatives from the healthcare industry. One of the objectives is to expose students to a variety of emerging technologies that play an important role in the paradigm shift towards preventive, personalized and precision medicine. The course also has a practical project where the students gain hands-on experience in designing, building and testing biomedical devices.

Robotics and Control courses:

• ACIT4810 - Advanced Methods in Modelling, Simulation, and Control
• ACIT4820 - Applied Robotics and Autonomous Systems

No formal requirements over and above the admission requirements.

A student who has completed this course should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competenc.

Knowledge

On successful completion of this course the student has:

• advanced knowledge within a sub-area of robotics and control.
• knowledge about the process of planning and conducting a project.

Skills

On successful completion of this course the student can:

• apply the theoretical knowledge and research-based methodologies into a practical problem.
• propose a detailed project plan.
• write a scientific report.

General competence

On successful completion of this course the student can:

• analyze, present and debate specific research subjects in light of the theoretical and practical approaches.
• discuss the subject both at expert and non-expert levels.

None

The assessment will be based on a portfolio of the following:

• Group project report (max 4000 words) and group presentation (20 min)
• 4 individual assignments
• An individual report documenting lab work, demonstrations and experiments (max 2000 words)

The portfolio will be assessed as a whole.

The written parts of the exam can be appealed. The presentation cannot be appealed. If the overall grade changes as a result of the appeal a new presentation must be held.

New/postponed exam

In case of failed exam or legal absence, the student may apply for a new or postponed exam. New or postponed exams are offered within a reasonable time span following the regular exam. The student is responsible for registering for a new/postponed exam within the time limits set by OsloMet. The Regulations for new or postponed examinations are available in Regulations relating to studies and examinations at OsloMet.

In the event of a postponed examination in this course the exam may be held as an oral exam. Oral exams cannot be appealed.

Exam in two parts:

1. Project report done individually or in groups of 2 students. The total length of the report should be between 5 000 - 15 000 words, each student contributing with 5000 - 7 500 words (80% of the final grade)

2. Oral project presentation (30 minutes if a group; 20 minutes if individual) (20% of the final grade)

Both exams must be passed in order to pass the course. The oral examination cannot be appealed

New/postponed exam

In case of failed exam or legal absence, the student may apply for a new or postponed exam. New or postponed exams are offered within a reasonable time span following the regular exam. The student is responsible for registering for a new/postponed exam within the time limits set by OsloMet. The Regulations for new or postponed examinations are available in Regulations relating to studies and examinations at OsloMet.
