Abstract
The robot presented in this paper was developed with the main focus on participating in robotic competitions. Therefore, the subsystems here presented were developed taking into account performance criteria instead of simplicity. Nonetheless, this paper also presents background knowledge in some basic concepts regarding robot localization, navigation, color identification and control, all of which are key for a more competitive robot.

Abstract
This paper presents the development of an acquisition system and data logger from an existing set of three continuous stirred-tank reactors in series. The reactors are currently used in chemical engineering educational laboratories to perform kinetic and tracer experiments. In this sense, to accomplish the store data process, the volumetric flow rate and the concentration of tracer, reactants and/or products of the reaction must be acquired as a function of time. In the original experimental setup, only the signal conditioning system was operational, while the acquisition, visualization, and control systems were obsolete and damaged. Thus, a new system composed of an interface and real-time acquisition data is proposed alongside preserving the main reactor structure. A graphical user interface and the automation of the various actuators were developed based on worldwide usage and low cost, respectively. This system, based on a common 8-bit microcontroller and an application developed in Lazarus, allows the storage of the acquired data in a time-series database. In this way, students can analyze the results later or in real time. Moreover, remote access allows controlling the reactor and getting data by the Internet of Things (IoT) resources. Additionally, the proposed system using IoT allows data to be shared with the community as a dataset. © 2023 IEEE.

Abstract
Energy consumption has been increasing in the last years and thus, energy efficiency is one of the most important topics actually. Besides, the consumption and energy generation forecast help in efficiency optimization. This paper presents the development of a system for forecasting surplus power generation to be used by residential loads connected to smart plugs. In this way, it is intended to collaborate with the use of surplus energy production in electrical devices in a residence instead of sending to batteries or to the grid. This work presents the theoretical basis of the project and the architecture of the developed system. A Machine Learning method applied to photovoltaic generation data in a residence was used to predict surplus energy. © 2023 IEEE.

Abstract
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) pertains to the air quality within a specific space and is directly linked to the well-being and comfort of its occupants. In line with this objective, this research presents a real-time system dedicated to monitoring and predicting IAQ, encompassing both thermal comfort and gas concentration. The system initiates with a data acquisition, wherein a set of sensors captures environmental parameters and transmits this data for storage in a database. The measured parameters are analyzed by a neural network algorithm that predicts anomalies based on historical data. The neural network model generated predictions from 75.9% to 98.1% (depending on the parameter) of precision during regular situations. After that, a test with smoke in the same place was done to validate the model, and the results showed it could detect anomalies. Finally, prediction data are stored in a new database and displayed on a dashboard for monitoring in real-time measured and prediction data. © 2023 IEEE.

Abstract
Worldwide, forests have been harassed by fire in recent years. Either by human intervention or other reasons, the history of the burned area is increasing considerably, harming fauna and flora. It is essential to detect an early ignition for fire-fighting authorities can act quickly, decreasing the impact of forest damage impacts. The proposed system aims to improve nature monitoring and improve the existing surveillance systems through satellite image recognition. The soil recognition via satellite images can determine the sensor modules' best position and provide crucial input information for artificial intelligence-based systems. For this, satellite images from the Sentinel-2 program are used to generate forest density maps as updated as possible. Four classification algorithms make the Tree Cover Density (TCD) map, consisting of the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN), which identify zones by training known regions. The results demonstrate a comparison between the algorithms through their performance in recognizing the forest, grass, pavement, and water areas by Sentinel-2 images.
