The course aims to train students in the design, planning and development of application software for pervasive and dedicated systems. Students will learn about the dynamics of the Internet, the Internet of Things and embedded systems, and will acquire skills in system implementation and project flow management using UML diagrams. The course also focuses on project planning and management, exploring basic software architectures and relevant technologies such as sensors and communication methods. Particular attention is given to the development of human-machine interfaces and the use of generative artificial intelligence as a tool for co-design. Practical activities, which are essential to consolidate theoretical knowledge, are carried out in the computer laboratory using the Arduino platform, which is available both in the classroom and through a simulator. This hands-on approach allows students to directly experience the applications and challenges of the mechatronics sector, enriching their educational journey with concrete and applied experiences
The objective of the Course is to enable the learner to design and develop application software for pervasive and dedicated systems. The learning objectives are also pursued with computer lab activities in the classroom (or through a virtual classroom) on devices for embedded systems.
The course has two distinct categories of activities:
Hands-on classes will be conducted in the laboratory, at the La Spezia campus, using the open source hardware/software platform Arduino Uno (https://www.arduino.cc/), or through software simulators. All information will be made available through the Notice Board of this teaching on AulaWeb.

In order to assess the achievement of the intended learning objectives, the student will be asked to build a prototype of an embedded system based on the open source Arduino Uno platform, or its simulator, accompanied by documentation, as discussed during the course of the lectures.
The examination will consist of the presentation and discussion of the assigned embedded system prototype.
Students with disabilities or learning disorders are allowed to use specific modalities and supports that will be determined on a case-by-case basis in agreement with the Delegate of the Engineering courses in the Committee for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities, prof. Francesco Curatelli. Students are invited to contact the teacher and copy the Delegate (francesco.curatelli@unige.it).
