A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO TEACHING COGNITIVE ROBOTICS AND ENGLISH TERMINOLOGY BY INVOLVING THE INTERNATIONAL ASPECTS IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Bjelovar University of Applied Sciences offers three professional study programmes – Mechatronics, Nursing and Computer Science. Several multidisciplinary projects have been implemented at the institution so far. The bionic human hand project, as related to cognitive robotics, involved a multidisciplinary approach that connects the three aforementioned scientific fields. Studying the cognitive human behavior while opening and closing the hand, human hand anatomy, designing a 3D CAD model, manufacturing supported by additive technologies, assembling and programming were carried out at the laboratories of the Bjelovar University of Applied Sciences. The hand is electronically activated and controlled by muscle contractions of the user’s fingers. The presented bionic hand may be used in the area of videogames or in biomedicine, as well as in dealing with hazardous materials. Rapid development of 3D technologies allows individuals to become small-scale producers. Naturally, 3D printing has its limitations, but the development will surely lead to improvements. Robotics and medicine are exceptionally interesting fields as related to the future of mankind. Due to the complexity of topics and technologies involved, linguists will play an important role in the systematization of the terminology, where close collaboration between linguists and experts from the fields of robotics and medicine will be required. This project covers a wide range of engineering and terminology topics, and the article is written for a broad audience.
