Automation is the replacement of human or animal by machine work. What does it mean to have an own mechanism of action, which makes an action required at any given time or in response to certain conditions. (RIBEIRO, 2001) ...

The machining processes, which consist of changing the dimensions of a part, are widely used in metallurgical and metalworking industries. Being one of the most equipment used for machining, with wide applicability and ...

FOPID controllers come from the PID controller’s generalization by fractional calculus formulations and therefore have a greater tuning capacity compared to traditional controllers. Therefore, this paper sought out to ...

The development of mechatronic devices usually involves different domains such as electronics, computing and mechanics. By involving different engineering areas, the construction of mechatronics prototypes demands the use ...

This work presents the development of a robotic platform with six degrees of freedom controlled via smartphone. Its objective is to offer a tool for practical activities in the area of mechatronics complementary to the ...

This paper presents the development of a system for automatic adjustment of the light field of a surgical light according to the distance between it and the illuminated surface, thus to reduce the risk of hospital infections ...

This paper show a solution for automation in the supply of materials, in a production line with conveyor system, focusing on improving ergonomic operator and reducing non-value tasks to the process.

This work aims to develop a ball-and-beam control system that can be used in practical process control activities. The system consists of an electromechanical device able to control the position of a small ball on a bar ...

The use of such technology to make automatic manual routines performed by the operator are a reality to be pursued, since machines perform better repetitive work. This work came adapt equipment and systems with technology ...
