Data Acquisition System: An Approach to the Amazonian Environment

This paper presents the development of a prototype of a system for remote data acquisition of environmental variables in the Amazon forest. The system performs all the functions of a Datalogger and has the task of analyzing behavior in a forest reserve by a intelligent agent, which contains expert systems of the standards related to environmental variables of temperature, relative humidity and dew point. The hardware is composed by a computational microcontrolled unit that contains an analog/digital data acquisition in serial communication interfaces.

SELVABOT-1: Embedded Control System Using Bluetooth Technology

This paper describes the development of the communication system using Bluetooth for Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) - SELVABOT version-1. This ROV could be controlled by any Bluetooth cell phone. Therefore, this type of technology has the advantage of high bitrates for data transfer and can to be used in hazardous areas. So, this text presents the design and project of a versatile robot intended for assistance and monitoring applications.
