Reference persons UMBERTO GARLANDO
Research Groups VLSILAB (VLSI theory, design and applications)
Thesis type EXPERIMENTAL
Description One of the main goals in the coming decades is to reduce the carbon footprint due to anthropic activities: agriculture accounts for a big quota in the climate change phenomenon. Precision Agriculture (PA) is a novel trend in the mitigation of the agrifood emissions.
The candidate will develop a modular electronic board, considering precision agriculture’s constraints, in LoRa technology, both hardware and firmware parts.
Considering the documentation and starter kits available in our research labs and using RF low-power modules (STM32WLxM Series), it is required to design the printed circuit board and realizing a dummy firmware to test it in rural scenarios through our in-field research’s activities.
Required skills Microcontroller programming (especially C language), Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) design
