Program Details

The B.Tech Biomedical Engineering program with a specialisation in Biomedical Robotics at UPES is an interdisciplinary undergraduate program designed to equip students with the skills to integrate robotics, automation, artificial intelligence, and intelligent systems into healthcare and medical applications. It combines foundational biomedical engineering concepts with advanced robotics to address clinical, diagnostic, rehabilitative, and assistive healthcare challenges.

The curriculum emphasises core biomedical subjects including anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, biomedical instrumentation, control systems, embedded systems, and AI, along with specialised training in medical robotics, rehabilitation robotics, surgical assistive systems, wearable robotics, and tele-operated healthcare systems. Students are also trained in safety, ethics, regulatory compliance, and translational research, aligned with national missions and sustainable development goals, preparing them for Industry 4.0-driven healthcare solutions.

Program Highlights

The program provides a solid foundation in biomedical engineering and robotics, specifically tailored for healthcare applications.
Students gain practical experience in dedicated laboratories equipped for robotics, sensors, and AI-based experimentation.
The curriculum is industry-oriented, integrating regulatory exposure to prepare students for compliance and safety standards in medical technology.
Hands-on learning is reinforced through hospital and industry internships, along with capstone projects that simulate real-world biomedical robotics challenges.

Industry Trends & Career Opportunities

Biomedical robotics is a rapidly expanding sector, driven by minimally invasive surgery, rehabilitation technologies, elderly care, and personalised medicine.
