Film Production Automation
PROJECT
Antioxidant film production automation for oil pipes.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
An antioxidant film for oil pipes is a protective layer applied to the surface of the pipes to prevent corrosion during storage, transport, and use in oil fields. This film is formulated to withstand exposure to harsh environmental conditions such as humidity, high temperatures, and aggressive chemicals, thereby ensuring structural integrity and extending the service life of oil pipes.

BioChallenge
Accessibility for Blind People
PROJECT
High-performance cane for blind people.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The cane hardware for blind people is a device developed by LIPS scholarship students to participate in the regional BioChallenge. It is an assistive technology with ultrasonic sensors that helps the blind person with audio signals and vibrations, warning of likely obstacles in their path.
DEMAND
Develop version 2.0 with two ESP32 modules communicating via Bluetooth, intended to inform the user about likely obstacles via headphones or other audio devices.
BioChallenge
Motor Accessibility
PROJECT
Collaborative arm controlled via Colibrino.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The Colibrino (existing hardware) captures head movements to precisely control the mouse cursor. Clicks can be performed by blinking, smiling, or automatically after the pointer stops. The aim of this project is to integrate the Colibrino hardware with a collaborative robotic arm for the BioChallenge competition.
DEMAND
Integrate the Colibrino hardware with the collaborative arm to provide accessibility to people with partial or total motor disabilities, using only head movement and eye blinking.
DCC UFMG
RFID Access Control
PROJECT
RFID-based door opening.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) door-opening system uses UFMG cards or TAGs to unlock doors. This system increases security, allows easy registration via local IP, and enables monitoring of who has access to specific areas.
DEMAND
Upgrade to version 3.0 with the new 3D-printed enclosure design, and organize internal wiring and connections. Present the new version to the DCC professors and managers for subsequent installation on selected DCC doors.
CTNano UFMG
Gas Flow Control
PROJECT
Gas controller for the growth of carbon nanomaterials.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The gas controller is an interface between the user and the carbon nanomaterials growth furnace. With it, the user configures, simply and quickly, the time and flow rate of the gases involved in the synthesis and growth process.
DEMAND
Update version 2.0 of the gas controller, adding the option to set the control time of MFCs 1 and 2 to open and close the valves.
ICB UFMG
Adapter for Stereotaxic Frame
PROJECT
Stereotaxic adapter for owls.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The stereotaxic adapter is part of a device that fixes the owl’s head for electrophysiological studies. The stereotaxic frame is a device that can be used for various purposes; there are models for humans, monkeys, rats, and mice. The objective of using a stereotaxic frame for a surgical procedure or experiment is to keep the subject’s head fixed and provide high precision in the Cartesian coordinates on the Vernier scale.
DEMAND
Improve the design of the existing project to make it more rigid and resistant, and produce it via 3D printing on demand.
