Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to deepen knowledge in the field of automatic control in two basic ways. In the first part of the course, students should acquire basic knowledge about the methods of automatic control and the possibilities for their biomedical applications. The second main theme of the course is the issue of control actuators, especially electric drives. This area is important in relation to the actuators of medical devices. Moreover, it is an essential prerequisite for more advanced courses in robotics as electric actuators and control systems are one of the most important components of more complex units of robots and manipulators.
Students that have completed this course will obtain good orientation in the field of cybernetic and automatic control systems and their biomedical applications with special emphasis on emerging new applications such as closed loop control of blood glucose, anaesthesia control and dialysis control. Besides they will obtain theoretical foundations and practical skills in the field of design and implementation of electrical drives and drive control systems. They will understand their functional principles as well as programming methods.
