Within Johns Hopkins, a premiere research university, the LCSR is a hub for innovative and interdisciplinary robotics engineering, research, and development. The LCSR brings a core group of scholars and students from the Whiting School of Engineering together with researchers from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and the Kennedy Krieger Institute to focus on the common purpose of creating knowledge and fostering innovation.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Programs” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”1200a5d6-a6f1-46e7-bded-bd1b48192817″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Heading” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Minor in Computer Integrated Surgery” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u200b\u200bThe Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR) offers an interdisciplinary minor in computer integrated surgery (CIS). To complete the minor in CIS, you will work with an advisor from the LCSR. The minor is particularly well-suited for students interested in computer integrated surgery issues who are majoring in a variety of disciplines, including biomedical engineering (BME), computer science (CS), computer engineering (CompE), electrical engineering (EE), and mechanical engineering (ME).\u202fTo satisfy the requirements for the minor in CIS, you must have a fundamental background in computer programming and computer science.<\/p>\n \u200bRequired fundamental mathematics courses include Calculus I, II, III, and Linear Algebra. Moving beyond the foundation, you will take at least six courses directly related to concepts relevant to CIS, including Computer Integrated Surgery I. Other course choices include courses in imaging, such as Computer Vision, Image Processing and Analysis, and Medical Imaging Systems; and courses in robotics, such as Robotic Sensors and Actuators, Mechatronics, and Algorithms for Sensor Based Robotics.<\/p>\n For more information, visit the Computer Integrated Surgery minor page<\/a> on the LCSR website.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Minor in Robotics” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u200b\u200bThe Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR) offers a robotics minor that helps undergraduate students at Johns Hopkins University advance their knowledge in robotics. Any student from any department within the university can work toward the minor. To complete the minor in Robotics, you will work with an advisor from LCSR.<\/p>\n \u200bRobotics is fundamentally integrative and multidisciplinary. Therefore, any candidate for the robotics minor must cover a set of core skills that cut across these disciplines, as well as obtain advanced supplementary skills. Core skills include:<\/p>\n Supplementary advanced skills are obtained in specialized applications \u2013 such as space, medicine, or marine systems \u2013 or in one of the three core areas listed above.<\/p>\n For more information, visit the Robotics minor page<\/a> on the LCSR website.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Activities” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”1200a5d6-a6f1-46e7-bded-bd1b48192817″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Activities” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u200b\u200bLCSR hosts the Robotics Club, a group of hackers, engineers, and tinkerers who want to teach the community how to build interesting things.
