Biorobotic devices in medicine include rehabilitation robotic devices and biorobotic prostheses. These biorobotic health care facilities are an important area in helping people after injuries or amputation of the upper or lower limb. Robotics for healthcare rehabilitation are both stationary and mobile applications. At present, it is an area that has marked a significant development in the world and in the Czech Republic. The aim of the course is to acquaint students with biorobotic prostheses and robotic devices for rehabilitation, their properties and parameters and practical applications. They will also be acquainted with design procedures of these devices. The graduate of the course will gain an overview in the field of applications of biorobotic prosthetic devices with a focus on rehabilitation and the ability to design these devices with regard to the requirements of the applicable legislation.
