Boosting the scientific excellence in teaching in the field of conceiving and realizing of new types of biomimetic mechatronic systems for people with special needs– EMERALD Project Reference: 21-COP-0019 is part of The Education, Scholarships, Apprenticeships and Youth Entrepreneurship Programme – EEA Grants 2014-2021 which was funded within the key action “2021 Cooperation Projects in Higher Education Area”,
Technical University of Cluj-Napoca is Lead coordinator of the EMERALD project and the consortium is comprised by Technical Universities and SMEs partners that are coming from Norway, Romania, Poland and Slovakia.The main objective of the EMERALD project consists in providing teaching resources and methods for professors and students that are coming from the Higher Education institutions and are interested in getting relevant knowledge, skills and competences in the field of 3D printing methods. Through this project, it is possible to boost the scientific excellence in teaching in the field of conceiving and realizing of new types of biomimetic mechatronic systems for people with special needs
The main resources that will be offered by the EMERALD partners’ consortium will consist in:
- The developing of new applications in VR / AR / mixed reality for providing feedback related to the testing of the new biomimetic mechatronic systems conceive
- 8 course modules will be realized to provide the necessary knowledge for materializing the biomimetric mechatronic systems
- 1 virtual laboratory platform conceived by the experts of the EMERALD consortium, where students and professors will have the chance to experience the use of biomimetic mechatronic systems in virtual mode
- EMERALD e-learning platform, case studies will be launched by the EMERALD consortium for realizing new types of biomimetic mechatronic systems for people with special needs
