BEE 3900

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

Introduction to bio-inspired and bio-enabled robotics across scales by an interdisciplinary approach, by gradually integrating knowledge in mechanical engineering and bioengineering. The concept and basic principles of biorobotics are discussed through macroscale robots in various fields including agriculture such as fruit picking robots. Homework includes programming, literature searches, and design studies of their own biorobots.

When Offered Spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: differential equations (MATH 2930). Highly recommended prerequisite: BEE 2600 or permission of instructor.

Course Attribute (CU-SBY)

Outcomes
