Course Syllabus for students Spring 2024

Atfter a successful course, the student shall

- show familiarity with basic principles for data transmission (e.g. bandwidth, modulation and choosing antennas)
- display knowledge of interfaces, protocols, and standards for wireless and wired communication between nodes within a distributed system
- show familiarity with different positioning methods- and services which have different suitable application areas

- demonstrate the ability to, as a participant in a project group, be able to contribute to the development process from idea to a realized product including stable and maintainable code
- demonstrate the ability to implement a complete system that is incorporating sensors, communication, back-end and a user interface

- demonstrate the ability to evaluate how different sensors and data processing algorithms can be used to contribute to autonomy and intelligence in mobile systems
- demonstrate the ability to outline an appropriate architecture and interface for a distributed system that interacts with users and the environment
- demonstrate the ability to evaluate the pros and cons of different development environments and other IT artifacts to select appropriate tools in a specific project.

The course conveys the knowledge in data communication, localization, sensors, and cloud services needed to build a mobile system where some intelligence is present in the front- or back-end. Students are also given the opportunity to apply the knowledge they gained earlier in the program, both technical and development methodologies, to develop a qualified product or service.

The course includes the following elements:
- Antennas, modulation, bandwidth
- Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LoRa, Zigbee,
- CAN, Ethernet
- Localization services (GNSS, etc.)
- Sensors for intelligent systems (vision, ToF, etc.)
- Cloud services for mobile systems
- User interface for intelligent products
- Project methodology

Lectures and project work.

The teaching is conducted in English.
