    Learning outcomes

    Module: Theory
    -------

    This module can be taken as part of the course of "Non Visual Interaction". The two courses share most of the theoretical material, whereas some of the laboratory sessions will be specific to the applications of robotics to surgery.



    Module: Laboratory
    -------

    The laboratory sessions of the course in "Surgical Robotics" supplements the laboratory sessions of "Non Visual Interaction" with a few lectures on:
    - minimally invasive surgery
    - robotic surgery

    and with practice sessions on the surgical robot Zeus.

    Syllabus

    Module: Theory
    -------

    See program of the "Non Visual Interaction" course.


    Module: Laboratory
    -------

    See program of the "Non Visual Interaction" course, with the addition of the following lectures:
    - minimally invasive surgery
    - robotic surgery
    - introduction to the Zeus robot
    - practice sessions on the Zeus robot

    Assessment methods and criteria

    The exam of the course consists of a project that addresses advanced topics, with respect to those discussed in the course. Together with the teacher, the student will:
    - choose one, or more, scientific papers on a topic of his/her interest related to the course,
    - prepare a simulation (or experiment) demonstrating the topics addressed by the papers
    - prepare a detailed report on the work done
    - give a short presentation summarizing the main points of the study done.
