Uso de microcontrolador na automação residencial para pessoas com necessidades especiais

Abstract

The use of technology to automate routine tasks has become increasingly sought after by society due to its advantages. Some of them are safety, comfort and cost reduction, making it accessible to all, regardless of whether the person has some type of disability. In this context, the proposal of this paper is to make life easier for people with special needs, such as the visually and physically impaired, and people who find it difficulty to execute simple domestic tasks. By applying automation, for example, a person could be able to control home lighting and the operation of some electronic appliances, such as the TV and the automatic gate; all this using the microcontroller hardware Arduino, interconnected with another piece of hardware, able to do voice recognition; functioning only locally, that is, in the house where it has been implemented, not making use of any mobile application, nor an internet connection
