ANSYMB - Interdisciplinary Teaching for Human-Centered Robotics

Abstract

In this paper we present the novel teaching project ANSYMB which we introduced during the last years at Technische Universität Darmstadt. In ANSYMB, students learn to analyse and synthesize human movements using research techniques used in biomechanics, computer sciences and engineering. Here, we explain key concepts and illustrate some of the outcomes of the educational courses. With this we hope to stimulate the discussion on how to teach students for preparing them to work in the growing research field of human-centered robotics and assistive devices.
