Solução em automação assistiva utilizando Arduino e Raspberry Pi

Abstract

In the face of the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) market, home automation and domotics are no longer luxury goods and, with more affordable prices, become a reality in people's lives. In this context, automation joins assistive technologies (technologies that allow accessibility, integration and independence of people with special needs), creating a new branch of technology called Assistive Automation. The project in question deals with the adaptation of two rooms of a home using assistive technologies, allowing a better quality of life for people with motor needs, facilitating tasks such as turning on and off lights that, for non-users, seem simple enough, but for the Target audience of this project represents a major discomfort. In this work, we use Arduino and Raspberry Pi 2 microcontrollers that have a low acquisition cost when compared to equivalent design using PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers). In addition to its assistive functions, this project intends to disseminate the idea of assistive automation to arouse the interest of new studies in this area, which has not yet been researched. The project was developed in prototype and is in the stage of improvement to be installed in APAE (Association of Parents and Friends of Exceptional) of Sobral-CE.
