Learning outcomes

The teaching module "Mechatronics for sport" aims to provide the student with the basic elements for the development of mathematical models based on the principles of physics and / or basic machine learning techniques capable of reproducing the results of experimental signals, of predicting and evaluating quantitative physical performance.

Program

Introduction to explain where models are useful in practice.
Performance evaluation ('data interpretation') with specific examples relating to "wearable devices", etc.
Performance prediction
What types of models can be built and tools available
Models based on equations and physical principles and basic models of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Static models versus dynamic models
Numerical resolution techniques for models with examples
References of kinematics and dynamics by means of application examples in the following three areas: biomechanics, bioenergetics locomotion.

Examination Methods

Written exam with 5 questions (some open and others of multiple choice) specific for "Mechatronics for sport" teaching module, plus the execution of a project that will have to be coordinated with the other two teaching modules of the course in order to integrate the knowledge learned .

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
