Biomechatronic Devices Design Assistance Laboratory

The laboratory enables computer-aided design and prototyping of electronic and automation circuits for biomechatronic devices. Thanks to modern measuring equipment  and computer software, it is possible to design the desired circuit or device with the preliminary possibility of testing its operation

The laboratory is equipped with advanced software for the design and programming of electronic devices (AUTODESK FUSION 360, LabVIEW, Visual Studio), measuring equipment for the creation of functional prototypes, a wide range of microcontrollers and programmable controllers ready to be implemented in the devices designed

Research offer:

  • rental of high-performance workstations with commercial software Autodesk Fusion 360, LabVIEW,

  • rental of NI Elvis III measurement equipment, NI VirtualBench, thermal imaging camera, spectrum analyser,

  • programmable controllers and microcontrollers hire,

  • weller soldering stations hire
