Desenvolvimento de plataforma para suporte à supervisão de sistemas remotos usando dispositivos de baixo custo

Abstract

The development of on-line experimentation represents an opportunity to create remote laboratories addressing several topics in di erent areas, specially on topics of engineering courses. The main purposes of this work are the development of a platform that integrates, monitors and controls laboratory systems, by creating a uniform way of interaction with di erent equipment and technologies. The proposed architecture considers low-cost devices, such as the Raspberry Pi, in a distributed environment that is accessible over the Internet allowing the interaction with wireless sensor network devices (e.g. TelosB), data acquisition boards (e.g. National Instruments) and virtual sensor networks. The users can observe the laboratory systems through a web camera. With the support of the developed platform, were created ve study cases to test and evaluate its features and performance. They were used on the collaboration with some institutions and demonstrated on two events: Human Sensor and Geographic Information Systems for Disaster Risk Management (HSenSIG) and the 3rd Experiment@ International Conference - exp.at'15. The results obtained with the benchmarking testing, usage monitoring and feedback from users gives good perspectives for its usability at a larger scale, providing a higher quality of learning experience to di erent students.
