Course Content
The course «BIOMECCATRONICA» aims to provide basic knowledge and methodology for the design and implementation of biomechatronic solutions. It will present the main fundamental topics related to the description of biomechatronic and physiological systems, sensors and actuators, wireless connectivity, control and signal processing, including machine learning examples. Then it will provide basic competencies to program devices based on a STM32 microcontroller and create IoT-like applications.
