Computer vision

The primary objective of the course is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the concepts and technologies employed in (and inspired by) biomedical research and practice from a biomedical engineering perspective. By achieving this objective, at the end of the course, the student will be able to: - Understand and apply methodologies, techniques, and specialized software used in the field of biomedical robotics applications. - Analyze the technological requirements for introducing navigation and guidance solutions in surgery. - Integrate methodologies such as navigation, registration, augmented reality, and medical imaging into medical treatment.

- Introduction to robotics in biomedicine - Medical imaging modalities: acquisition, features and applications - Tracking systems - Image-to-patient registration - Robotic and laparoscopic surgery - Neurorehabilitation - Augmented reality in surgery - 3D printing for clinical applications, surgical guides, and prosthetics - Biomimetic robotics, teleoperation, cooperative manipulation, and emerging challenges in biomedical robotics

In the theoretical-practical classes, the knowledge that students must acquire will be presented. Students will receive class notes and have access to basic reference texts to facilitate class follow-up and the development of subsequent work. Students will solve exercises, practical activities, and problems. Workshops and assessment tests will be conducted to demonstrate that the necessary skills are being acquired. A tutoring schedule for individual or group support will be offered through Aula Global. Students will also be assisted via email or videoconference. At least 4 hours of in-person laboratory sessions will be scheduled, and attendance of at least 80% will be required.
