At the end of the course, students will acquire theoretical and applicative knowledge and skills related to the field of "advanced manufacturing" and "smart manufacturing. In particular, the students will acquire a good knowledge of advanced manufacturing systems and of the main techniques/technologies for their use and control, both from a physical, remote and virtual point of view.
Course Prerequisites
None
Teaching Methods
Lectures Applied and laboratory activities Case studies Project work development
Assessment Methods
The final evaluation will be carried out through a written test and the discussion of a group project work (concerning the themes of "smart manufacturing"). The two parts have approximately equal value.
