| Learning Outcome and Competences | The students will understand the atomic and molecular structure of solid states and soft materials. Based on this knowledge, the students will be able to draw conclusions about material properties on the macroscopic scale to select and tailor their characteristics for biomedical applications including the broad variety of medical implants made from metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, etc. The biological, mechanical, chemical, spectroscopic and tribologic characterization of materials down to the atomic level will be discussed, as this is the main prerequisite for innovations and improvements. State-of-the-art technologies and methodologies for the analysis of materials will be discussed. This lecture series also covers selected fabrication procedures for a variety of implants, including a discussion of phase transformations and thermally activated processes. The biocompatibility of implant materials will be explored. Biocompatibility does not only depend on the chemical composition but also on the surface morphology and critically on the specific host tissue. After completing the module, students will be able to… • give an overview of the broad spectra of metallic, polymeric and ceramic biomaterials from the perspective of materials science from the macroscopic to the nanoscopic scale • explain uses and selection criteria for biomaterials • express how to exploit the structure-function relationship of materials • explain different state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies for the analysis of materials • understand fabrication of biomaterials for medical implants • understand the concept of biocompatibility • classify biomaterials according to the response of the biological system. • justify the importance of physical-chemical analyses for determining biocompatibility. |

| Course contents | The course will involve practical statistics and data-analysis techniques relevant in the biomedical engineering field, with a focus on solving biomedical problems. The course will introduce or repeat basic concepts of statistics but will emphasize on the use and application of statistics and understanding data analysis and representation rather than on understanding the mathematical background of statistics. The course will be set up around relevant and realistic datasets. Students will learn how to understand the fundamental concepts of descriptive and inferential statistics, analyze data and choose an appropriate hypothesis test to answer a given question, compute numerical statistical measures and perform hypothesis tests ‘by hand’, and visualize data and perform statistical analysis. They will learn and explore DOE techniques in a hands-on experiment and learn how to use error analysis to correctly determine (in-)accuracies, essential to the interpretation of any experiment. |
| Learning Outcome and Competences | After completing the module, students will be able to… • Visualize data using MATLAB and Python. • Summarize data via descriptive statistics. • Use Inferential Statistics. • Perform power and sample size calculations. • Use linear regression and correlation analysis. • Use linear mixed models and ANOVA analysis • Perform a DOE • Perform error analysis |

| Course contents | The lecture is split into a lecture part, where students learn theoretical aspects on control and a practical part where they apply their knowledge on a real robotic system. The lecture will build upon basics in continuous linear time-invariant systems (LTI-systems, taught in 26937-01_Data Processing and Control). Starting with time discrete systems, the students will learn transforming time continuous systems to time discrete ones, see how to design simple controllers (PID), will employ Bode plots for control design according to certain requirements (cutoff frequency, phase margin, remaining error), test stability of systems using the Nyquist criterium. Furthermore, the students will learn about state transform and the invariance of transfer functions on state transform. The state transform consecutively used to bring control systems to first and second standard form to derive observability and controlability criteria. In a final theoretical part of the lecture, the students will learn about state control based on controller-canonical form, stabilization around an arbitrary operating point, observers, and finally Kalman filter. In the practical part of the lecture, the students will work in groups on an inverted pendulum setup using Matlab/Simulink and TwinCAT3. The task will be to design controllers to swing the pendulum up in a first case and to keep it upright in a second case. The students should design at least 2 different controllers to maintain the pendulum upright despite of disturbances and compare their controllers' performance. |
| Learning Outcome and Competences | The goal is to make students aware of a variety of different control principles for linear time-invariant systems (LTI-systems), their advantages and disadvantages. The knowledge is supported by practical examples tested in Matlab/Simulink and TwinCAT3 on a real robot (inverted pendulum) |

| Course contents | The course gives an overview of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) which is a non-invasive and ionizing radiation free diagnostic imaging technique that has found widespread applications in clinical routine and research. In this course we will first introduce the fundamentals of MR physics including: nuclear spin, magnetic moments, magnetization, radiofrequency pulse excitation and relaxation processes, which will be followed by topics related to MRI hardware and safety. We will discuss basic concepts of pulse sequences, spatial encoding, k-space and image formation. The final portion of the course will introduce specialized applications such as cardiovascular imaging, spectroscopy, diffusion weighted imaging and functional brain MRI, image artifacts as well as advanced image reconstruction techniques. During the exercises we will demonstrate how to operate an MRI unit, and show several different MR techniques in measurements in phantom and in-vivo. |

| Course contents | Nowadays, there is large knowledge available about control from a theoretical point of view. However, getting an entire setup working from hardware integration, safety, control, up to the graphical user interface or virtual environment, is seldom taught. Participants will learn about basic differences in various automatization environments such as dSPACE, Matlab xPC Target, Matlab/Simulink, LabVIEW, and TwinCAT3. Within one week, the participants will learn how to integrate motors, sensors, and safety components in a predesigned electric cabinet for automation and control purposes. They will develop an automation application for a balancing and visual tracking application, integrate different control schemes, and write a graphical user interface to control the application in real-time. In groups up to four, the participants will learn how to integrate different hardware components in a real-time control system (TwinCAT3, Beckhoff). They will learn how to account for software safety for an application involving servo motors. After successful hardware and software safety integration, different control schemes (model based controllers, non-linear controllers, vision-based non-linear controllers, etc. ) will be integrated in Matlab/Simulink. After compilation for TwinCAT3, the controllers will work on an industrial embedded real-time PC. During runtime, the participants will be able adapting controllers-online, record data, and see the influence of different filters. Consequently, the participants will program their own graphical user interface (GUI) in the game development engine UNITY. This GUI can be interfaced with the real-time environment through an Automation Device Specification (ADS), i.e. a field bus interface for TwinCAT3. After first experiments with the hard and software, two groups will work together for realizing a two-degrees of freedom ball balancing application, where each group controls one degree of freedom. The feedback loop will be closed through real-time vision-data that needs to be extracted applying feature extraction in real-time. Finally, the performance of the teams’ solutions to the challenging application is evaluated in a friendly competition. |
