Advanced Biomechanics and Assistive Robotics

Harvard FAS

This course will study advanced topics of human movement, emphasizing applications in rehabilitation, athletics, and assistive devices. We will rapidly review biomechanical principles of movement, experimental data collection techniques, simulation with musculoskeletal modeling, and cutting-edge topics in assistive robotics. The course will focus on current cutting-edge research in the fields of biomechanics and assistive robotics. A semester-long project will enable students to apply these…
