“…The system developed is also now a tool for other engineers who want to learn about telerobotics, telemedicine, robot arm mechanics, or any of the other technologies incorporated into this design [6]. Unlike the costly, closed-box da Vinci system, this system is inexpensive and exposed; thus students have to ability to get at the low-level portions of the system, to tinker with and modify components, without fear of damaging expensive equipment.…”

The purpose of this project is to introduce a new educational model that allows first-year graduate students the ability to access telemedicine ideas and systems and interact intimately with the components of such devices. We are able to achieve this by forming multi-disciplinary groups working with low-cost materials to build the system from the ground up, thus exposing the students to all parts of the process. By leveraging remotely located teams, the members are required to face the underlying constraints inherent in telemedicine applications (namely, the difficulty in long-distance communication) as a major component of the project. Through the engagement of these students early in their graduate career with a real-world application and a hands-on experience, the exposure of the students in this manner complements the traditional textbook methodology and has been shown to provide indicators of positive attitudinal interest in not only those students already pursuing a medical tract of study but also general roboticists simply exploring this particular field.
