L'informatique physique (Physical Computing en anglais, PhyComp en abrégé) se concentre sur les interactions avec le monde physique en utilisant une variété de capteurs et actionneurs qui sont contrôlées par des microcontrôleurs et par des ordinateurs. Une caractéristique importante est que les développeurs ne sont habituellement pas des spécialistes de l'informatique embarquée et omniprésente . Il en résulte des outils de développement qui mettent l'accent sur la simplicité de programmation et de développement de ces types d'applications.

The Arduino project is a prime example of this movement. It offers both an experimental board, built around a low cost microcontroller with a few input-output ports, and an integrated development environment that simplifies its usage. This board is now extensively used in a large array of contexts, including: rapid prototyping, testing and education around physical computing.

This module introduces the technical aspects of development with the Arduino platform and presents the user community that has grown around it. It offers an opportunity to gain experience on the Arduino platform by prototyping physical computing applications with a mix of sensors and actuators including making the things shells in a fablab using laser cutters, 3D printer, ... (see pictures below).
