Optimization & Embedded Systems

Optimization

• Linear optimization
• Nonlinear optimization (gradient method, optimal-step gradient, Lagrange multipliers)
• Optimization applied to robotics (optimal control based on quadratic programming under linear constraints)

Embedded systems

• Architectures de Harvard & de Von Neumann
• Knowledge and implementation of the main features of a microcontroller
• Choice and sizing of an embedded programming solution in relation to a given need
• C programming of a Raspberry Pi board
• -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Optimization
