Teaching is amazing! I like teaching because I strongly believe that sharing enthusiasm for my research topics is important. I have to admit that as a teacher I don’t accept failure. I try every angle and every strategy to help students learn and succeed. I love teaching because it make me feel better every day that I come home from my job; it almost makes me feel guilty that I get paid for this! Here is a photo taken in our Mechatronics Lab in the Spring 2012 (Mechatronics course).

Ålesund and surrounding areas are beautiful. Here some shoots I have recently taken and I wanted to share. {loadposition Flickr}
2014, March, 18. Minister for Education and Research of Norway, Torbjørn Røe Isaksen, and State secretary, Bjørn Haugstad, visited Aalesund University College. The visit included meetings with the management and the deans, and a tour around campus, including our MechLab.

This is a nice application project that I like to show to my students in order to trigger and give them some more motivation. It is a a project that I developed when I was a Msc student at the University of Siena. An iPhone is used to control the robot. Data coming from the iPhone's accelerometer are send to a server through Open Sound Control serial messages. When the server receives these messages, it applies inverse kinematics and calculates the joint angles' values. Finally, these angles
