Body
Advancements and applications of wearable technology
The University of Genoa is organizing a BIP from February 17th to 21st, 2025, specifically designed for IT students.
The course is divided into a virtual component and an in-person session at the University of Genoa in Italy, and it is worth 3 ECTS credits. Selected students can apply for an Erasmus+ grant, which will cover part of their travel and accommodation costs. The course is open to both BA and MA level students.
Course Outline
The course will provide a hands-on, project-based approach where students work with data, wearable devices, and robotic systems to design, implement, and test interactive applications. Students will collaborate in interdisciplinary groups of 4-5 to develop practical solutions that address real-world challenges. Each group will work on a specific application of wearable technology or telerobotics, tailored to healthcare, arts, or HRI.
Most tasks will be done in teams, encouraging students to collaborate across disciplines such as engineering, computer science, and design. Although collaboration is key, students are expected to take on individual roles within the group, such as data analysis or hardware assembly, ensuring each member contributes effectively.
Students must have a personal laptop, a B2 level of English, and have a background in areas such as Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), engineering, manufacturing, construction, or related fields to participate in the course.
