Bachelor Projects (6th Semester)
In addition to the projects listed below, which can be adapted to the level of Bachelor students in the 6th semester of their studies instead of M.Sc. level, it is possible for Bachelor students to propose additional topics on embedded systems that fit their personal interests. In that case, contact Prof. David Atienza ([email protected]) to discuss the complexity of the project proposal from your side in order to adapt it if necessary.
