About the challenge
The MATLABthon PoliMi is an event organized by MathWorks and the MATLAB Students Ambassador of the Politecnico di Milano.
Use your MATLAB & coding skills, gaining insight into MATLAB mobile and how to create an application which uses your smartphone's sensors to retrieve and analyse data.
Get started
- Install MATLAB Mobile on your phone and the packages “Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox”, “Mapping toolbox”, “MATLAB Support Package for Apple iOS/Android Sensors”
- Get the access to MATLAB drive
Requirements
What to Build
You will use MATLAB mobile to collect and export data from your smartphone's sensors; then you will build a MATLAB script (.m) or a Live script (.mlx) containing the code of the application. You can also use another program language to write the code, but using MATLAB will give you a bonus score.
You will put your code with comments and instructions on how to run it on a github folder.
What to Submit
Before the end of the Hackathon, each team must fill out the Submission Form on Devpost. This form asks for:
- Team Name
- Team Members
- GitHub URL to project
Participants must ensure the GitHub URL is public
