Courses

Sensors

Physical principles and electronics used in sensors. Applications of sensors.

Robotics practicals

The practicals can include the following topics:

Teaching Robots to Accomplish a Manipulation Task
Experimenting with haptic interfaces
Controlling a serial robot ABB IRB 120
Control of the Micro Delta Direct Drive robot
LiniX, linear axis, assembly and control

MEMS Actuator practicals

MEMS sensors practicals

Nanotechnology

This course gives the basics for understanding nanotechnology from an engineer's perspective: physical background, materials aspects and scaling laws, fabrication and imaging of nanoscale devices.

Micro-magnetic field sensors and actuators

The course provides the basis to understand the physics, the key performance, and the research and industrial applications of magnetic sensors and actuators. Together with a detailed introduction to magnetism, several magnetic sensors and actuators are studied.

General physics : electromagnetism

Introduction to fluids mechanics, to electromagnetism, and to wave phenomena.
