This week explores robotic applications in healthcare, focusing on surgery, limb substitution, and assistive services. Learners analyze how robots enhance precision, support rehabilitation, and improve quality of life. The week emphasizes safety, reliability, and human-centered design in medical contexts. Through these applications, robotics is presented as a key technology for addressing societal and demographic challenges.

This week focuses on robots operating in aerial and space environments. Learners study unmanned aerial vehicles, including their modeling, control, and estimation, as well as their autonomous functionalities. The second part introduces orbital robotics, covering kinematics, dynamics, and motion control in space. These domains highlight the challenges of autonomy, limited communication, and operation in extreme conditions.

This week explores robots operating in underwater and disaster-response scenarios, both characterized by challenging and unstructured environments. The first part focuses on underwater robotics, covering system components such as sensors and actuators, as well as navigation, guidance, and control strategies under constraints of limited visibility and communication. The second part introduces rescue robotics, examining the nature of disasters, criteria for selecting robotic platforms, and the use of different modalities in emergency response. The week concludes with methods for testing and evaluating rescue robots, emphasizing reliability and performance in critical missions
