<objectives>•	After successfully completing this module, students will be able to apply their basic knowledge about biosignal processing as it relates to movements of collaborative robots.
•	Based on their interdisciplinary knowledge of programming and biosignal processing, they will be able to solve simple tasks involving collaborative industrial robots and then record and interpret the relevant neural activity data and control the robot.
•	Students will be able to collaborate with students from other disciplines (BMT, Computer Science, Mechatronics) in their project assignments and in doing so, use different skills.
•	In addition to professional qualifications, students will have acquired experience in assuming professional and organizational responsibility within their (interdisciplinary) project team. 
•	As study participants, students will have learned essential soft skills in dealing with subjects and patients.
</objectives>
<content>•	The basics of direct dialog between man and machine
•	Setting up experiments to measure and detect relevant patterns in human neural signals, in particular the electroencephalogram (EEG) 
•	The interpretation and analysis of neural signals by means of signal processing and pattern recognition to control a robot
•	Simple programming of collaborative industrial robots
•	Handling robot hardware and system-dependent scripting language (based on UR as an example)
•	Implementing the control of the robot hardware based on interpreted data
