UndergraduateTeaching
From 2001 Dr. Micera has been teaching two courses on "Introduction to Biomechanics" and
"Principles of Mechatronics" for the undergraduate students of the School of Audiology of the
University of Pisa. The aim of the courses is to provide basic information about these two disciplines.
The courses are composed of several tutorials on different topics. From 2005, Dr. Micera has been
collaborating to the course on "Rehabilitation Engineering" for the undergraduate students of
biomedical engineering of the School of Engineering of the University of Pisa. He taught topics related
to movement biomechanics and to the use of robotics and biomecanical models for the investigation of
motor control strategies in animal models and in humans.
Post-graduateTeaching
Course on "Neural interfaces and neuro-mechanics" for the graduate students of the BioRobotics
School of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna. The first part of the course - started in 2004 - was composed
of several tutorials on different topics (CNS and PNS neural interfaces, neuroprostheses, brain to
