Course contents

BioRobotics is an emerging interdisciplinary field at the intersection of robotics, bioengineering and biomimetics. The PhD in BioRobotics is a three-year program that offers a stimulating multidisciplinary learning and research environment (see our Research Lines). The program aims at training early-stage researchers in the design and development of radically new robots, machines, and systems, according to the principles of technological, environmental, social, ethical and economic sustainability. Such robotic technologies are bio-applied (e.g., for medical applications) and/or bio-inspired (aiming at significantly improving their capabilities). Doctoral research projects are carried on in very well equipped, state-of-the-art laboratories. Personal and team work are performed under the supervision of a committed faculty in the framework of international collaborations.

During the three-years program, doctoral candidates must obtain:

20 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) by the attendance of internal courses as well as of external courses and summer school, and by project works
160 ECTS for the research activity

The PhD in BioRobotics guarantees a wide and multidisciplinary training offer on the scientific themes of robotics, biomedical engineering, bioengineering and biomimetics (see Courses). At the end of the PhD Program, Doctors of Philosophy will possess solid scientific and engineering skills, the ability to conceive and carry out original research projects, and an autonomous entrepreneurship spirit.
