ACIT4830 Special Robotics and Control Subject Emneplan

The course provides an arena where students can learn about specific technologies and methods that are relevant for applications in robotics and control. These themes can be varied from artificial intelligence methods for robotics and control, Internet of Things and sensor network systems, autonomous and distributed systems, embedded systems, industrial process control, and other special subjects within robotics and control.

The first part of the course is organised as a series of lectures and seminars. The second part of the course is a practical project. The course is completed by the students submitting a report and giving a presentation of their work.

Upon completing the course, the candidates are expected to have gained the following learning outcomes (knowledge, skills, and general competence).

Knowledge

The candidate:

• is at the forefront of knowledge for analysing how societal institutions, forms of organization, and infrastructures influence sustainability practices
• can contribute to the development of novel and cross-cutting sustainability methods in their own profession

Skills

The candidate:

• can formulate questions, plan and carry out research on sustainability issues related to their professions
• can engage in discussions of how sustainable practices can be facilitated at institutional, organizational and infrastructural levels
• can challenge established knowledge in their own professions and identify critical success factors for sustainable transformation

General competence

The candidate:

• can adopt a societal perspective on sustainability challenges in society at large and within their own professions
• can contribute with new, advanced knowledge and insights on sustainability transformations
• can communicate sustainability research and development work to society as well as through recognized academic channels such as scientific workshops, conferences and journals

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.

The first part of the course is organised into a series of lectures and seminars. Students are expected to play an active role. Lectures are given by the course lecturer and invited lecturers. Students will also be required to present papers, and discuss course themes during lectures and seminars.

The second part of the course is a practical project in groups of 1-3 students. The course is completed by the students submitting a report and giving a presentation of their work.

None.

Exam in two parts:

1. Project report done individually or in groups of 2 students. The total length of the report should be between 5000-15000 words, each student contributing with 5000-7500 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.

All aids are permitted, provided the rules for plagiarism and source referencing are complied with.

Videreutdanning i ultralydveiledende injeksjonsterapi er utformet for å gi manuellterapeuter en større forståelse for, og ferdigheter innen bruk av ultralyd som veiledningsverktøy i injeksjonsterapi. Studentene vil få innføring i de grunnleggende prinsippene for ultralydveiledning og hvordan dette kan forbedre presisjonen og sikkerheten ved ulike injeksjonsteknikker. Fokus vil være på terapeutiske aspekter, noe som gir et godt kunnskapsgrunnlag for å utføre prosedyrer trygt og effektivt. Emnet vil omfatte vanlige bruksområder for ultralydveiledede injeksjoner, inkludert behandling av muskel- og skjelettlidelser, smertelindring, samt injeksjoner i ledd og bløtvev. Fordelene med å benytt ultralyd for økt presisjon og forbedrede behandlingsresultater vil bli fremhevet. Studentene vil også lære om prinsippene for ultralydbildedannelse og tolkning av bilder, samt teknikker for å unngå vanlige artefakter.

Relevans for arbeidsliv

Videreutdanningen vil gi et større faglig grunnlag for integrering av kunnskap om injeksjonsteknikker i egen praksis, og i samsvar med gjeldende retningslinjer.

The course addresses sustainability transitions, and how societal institutions, technical infrastructures, and culture constitute frames within which practices evolve. The course especially focuses on theories of social change, and how institutions may inhibit or enable transitions toward sustainability. The course will provide the candidates with tools for engaging in constructive discussions of how sustainable practices can be facilitated and stimulate interdisciplinary investigation of these issues. The syllabus may be abbreviated and adapted to fit the interest of the participants of the course in cooperation with the supervisors.

The course will address the following, non-exclusive list of themes:

• Socio-ecological, socio-technical, socio-economic and action-oriented perspectives on sustainability transitions.

• Institutional theory, as well as theories of social inertia and change.

• Sustainable alternatives to dominant political, economic and social structures.

Samlingene gjennomføres fysisk på universitetet, hvor studentene kan delta i praktisk rettet undervisning og ferdighetstrening, med fokus på utvikling av tekniske ferdigheter og klinisk forståelse.

Mellom samlingene forventes det at studentene arbeider med fagstoffet på egen hånd og samarbeider med medstudenter gjennom nettbaserte diskusjoner. Studentene skal også benytte digitale læringsressurser som forberedelse til de praktiske øvelsene. Studiet inkluderer forelesningsdager, selvstudie, praktisk læring og øvelser.

Selvstudier

Selvstudier innebærer både individuelt arbeid og samarbeid med medstudenter via universitetets digitale læringsplattformer. Dette kan inkludere oppgaveløsning, lesing av pensumlitteratur, bruk av e-læringsressurser, og deltakelse i diskusjonsforum. Selvstudium fremmer selvstendig aktivitet og refleksjon.

Forelesninger

Forelesninger brukes til å belyse hovedelementer, begreper og prinsipper, synliggjøre sammenhenger mellom ulike temaer, gi eksempler fra praksis, og formidle sentrale problemstillinger.

Digitale læringsressurser

Studentene ser videoopptak av prosedyrer og bruker digitale verktøy for å øve på anatomisk plassering og teknikk.

Praktisk læring og øvelser

I emnet inngår arbeid med kliniske casestudier og praktiske øvelser, hvor studentene gjennomfører ultralydveiledede injeksjoner med saltvann på hverandre, (ekstremitetsledd), under veiledning. I kliniske casestudier inngår analyser av relevante pasientscenarier for å trene på klinisk beslutningstaking og anvendelse av injeksjonsteknikker i realistiske situasjoner.

Etter de praktiske øvelsene skal studentene reflektere over egne ferdigheter og motta personlig veiledning og tilbakemelding fra instruktører.
