Abstract

We share our experience gained during realization of the world-wide European Master on Advanced Robotics - EMARO (Erasmus Mundus program coordinated by Ecole Centrale de Nantes - France). Besides of classic subjects like robot dynamics and kinematics, control theory, artificial intelligence or computer vision, in EMARO we teach the biomechanics and bio-robotics. Our aim is to supply the students with complimentary knowledge stimulating their creativity for designing and prototyping non-conventional robots. Gained knowledge from the area of biomechanics allows the EMARO graduated to take a job not only in robotics but also in biomedical or biomechanical fields. Five year experience with two years EMARO program confirmed that our graduated are not only continuing their carrier in robotics but many of them are working in biomedical centers designing active prosthesis, testing the human gait properties and so on. There are also EMARO graduated developing walking machines, designing some novel constructions, or working in area of occupational biomechanics with ergonomics, focusing on human - machine interactions.
