    Tactical Robot Prototype for SWAT and Emergency Response Teams in Peru
    (LACCEI Inc., 2020-07) Chicoma-Moreno, Jason; Yllatopa Turpo, Junior
    The lack of technology to explore hostile areas in Peru is an important factor for the increment of casualties in the staff of the Peruvian police and military. In view of this, we propose in this work the design and construction of a tactical robot for the exploration of hostile zones in Peru which will be controlled with a telemetry system. For the first prototype, the most important parameters considered are the control of the unmanned vehicle, the transmission of video in real time and the fact that it is an all-terrain vehicle. To maintain the control of the tactical robot with the parameters mentioned above, a software was developed in Arduino Uno which is based on the C++ programming language. With this software the tactical robot can be controlled and monitored through a wireless network by accessing it through via an ip address. However, we have to work further on the wireless communication, increasing security protocols, which will be implemented in future implementations of this project. It is expected that this tactical robot will be used by the police or military forces, so that they can make reconnaissance of hostile areas and thus their staff will be more prepared at the time of interventions.

    A real-time pattern recognition module via Matlab-Arduino interface
    (LACCEI Inc., 2020-07) Suarez, Oscar J.; Hernánez Díaz, Nicolás; Pardo, Aldo
    Pattern recognition is a relevant research area in artificial vision, where several methods have been proposed in the last 50 years. This paper presents a real-time pattern recognition algorithm for an addition operation through two six-sided dice using an Android camera device, an IP webcam app, a graphical user interface (GUIs) from Matlab, and Arduino technology. The methodology to develop the interface and the communication between Matlab software and Arduino technology is presented. To evaluate the performance of the proposed methodology, a real-time implementation using an Arduino Mega 2560 board and Matlab is illustrated.

    Design of “Smart Car Seat” to Prevent Heat Related Deaths of Children Left Alone inside Cars
    (LACCEI Inc., 2020-07) Li, Chao; Kobelo, Doreen
    Every year, there’s news about children being left unattended by their guardians in the car and died from the heat related causes. The US government has realized the seriousness of the problem and started to pass some new regulations, demanding the car manufacturers to install some type of sensors inside the car to remind the adults about the kids being left in the car. The authors approach this problem from a different perspective. As we understand, not every car needs this type of sensors to detect kids because many cars don’t transport children at all. But every child (year 5 and under) needs to sit on a car seat inside the car required by law. We are tackling the problem by adding more features to the car seat to make it “smart” enough to detect the temperature inside the car and to detect whether the kids are being left alone inside the car by the adults. The design utilizes a sensor platform and a smartphone application to reliably monitor safety of the child. The system powers itself on in the presence of a child. The entire system is based on the programmable Arduino microcontroller circuit board. A force sensitive resistor is placed along the backrest of the car seat. This resistor is the indicator for the system to become active. When the system is active, meaning a child is present, the Arduino begins to monitor the temperature inside the car using a temperature sensor. When the temperature reaches unsafe level, an audible alarm is sent out. There is also a notification device paired with the system using app on the guardian’s smart phone. Text messages will be sent to the phone if it is sensed that the parent is accidentally leaving the child behind in the vehicle. This part of the system is separate from the audible alarm that will sound if temperatures are reaching unsafe levels and will be strictly used for proximity. The double warning system will guarantee to alert the adult. The prototype has demonstrated the accomplishments of the functions and feasibility of the smart car seat in preventing the death of the kids.

    Integración de un Sistema IoT – Sistema Fotovoltaico que Permita Optimizar el Consumo del Agua Potable en el regado de Jardines de la Ciudad de Arequipa
    (LACCEI Inc., 2020-07) Esquicha-Tejada, Jose; Copa-Pineda, Juan
    Debido al uso indiscriminado del agua potable mediante el sistema de inundación de forma irregular a las diferentes plantas en los jardines de la población de Arequipa; se presenta esta investigación, que integra un sistema IoT que es ejecutado en un Raspberry Pi y mediante su GPIO permite controlar la electroválvula; y con el Arduino Uno con su Shield Ethernet logra el monitoreo en tiempo real, de la humedad del suelo y el consumo de agua de los jardines. Finalmente, con la integración de la aplicación de mensajería instantánea Telegram se gestiona las alertas cuando el jardín está seco o mojado. La propuesta generó un ahorro significativo del consumo del agua potable a la población arequipeña.
