The course draws on Northeastern's established strength in Biomedical and Rehabilitation Robotics - a dedicated concentration within the university's interdisciplinary MS in Robotics program spanning the College of Engineering, Khoury College of Computer Sciences, and the Bouvé College of Health Sciences - and extends that expertise into collaborative, clinically-grounded student projects. The course emphasizes the application of robotics to enhance therapeutic and rehabilitative outcomes, with key engineering topics including robot mechanics and control, assistive and rehabilitation robotics, sensing and navigation, mechatronic integration, prototyping, biomechanics, and motor control from an engineering perspective.
