Due to the growing impact of robotics on the field ofbiomedical engineering, a new course in Medical Robotics was introduced in 2006 to fill theexisting educational gap in this area. The target audience of this course is primarily fourth-yearundergraduate students of the biomedical engineering program of the department while thecourse is also open to graduate students with interest in medical robotics research. The coursehas no particular prerequisite but the students are encouraged also to enroll in an undergraduatecourse in control systems.
