Content

The course covers the fundamental types of sensors, the physical concepts underlying various sensing systems, data handling, the practical applications of measurement, as well as discussions of constraints and error sources.

Learning outcome

After taking this course, the student will have familiarity:

  • the measurements units
  • different types of sensors (i.e., inertial, physiological, environmental, and smart sensors)
  • different types of sensing methods (i.e., HW based or radio signals-based)
  • errors, noise, accuracy, and resolution in the measurement process
  • basic overview of biomedical systems
  • the physical principles utilized in the different kinds of sensors
  • calibration of sensors and instruments
  • basic concepts of signal processing
  • sensors communication technologies (e.g., serial, Bluetooth, WiFi, MQTT, etc)
  • introduction to the use of data/signals/time-series in machine learning
  • sensors-based application scenarios (e.g., Human Activity Recognition based on inertial sensors, flow measurements, blood pressure, measurements of the respiratory systems or heart rate).

As part of the laboratory activity, the students will program and use an STM32 and Quanser board to perform practical measurements.

Emneevaluering

There must be an early dialogue between the course supervisor, the student union representative and the students. The purpose is feedback from the students for changes and adjustments in the course for the current semester.In addition, a digital course evaluation must be carried out at least every three years. Its purpose is to gather the students experiences with the course.
