Development and real-world deployment of a multi-agent system to support the op...
Patrício, João Tabanêz; Lopes, Tiago; Rocha, André; Martins, João; Amaral Lopes, RuiDespite the ongoing measures to support the development of Renewable Energy Communities (RECs), effectively managing energy production, consumption, and sharing, while balancing members’ needs, remains a major challenge. This paper presents a Multi-Agent System-based Community Energy Management System, designed to manage interactions and real-time energy exchanges within a REC to tackle the referred challenge i...
OUTLOOK OF A WEB-BASED OSCILLOSCOPE CLONE FOR E-LEARNING
Cardoso Ferreira, João Pedro; Rocha, André; Alves, Mário; Oliveira, PauloThis paper overviews the software architecture, implementation, applications, and preliminary user experience of a computer application that mimics an Oscilloscope and a Signal Generator, in the context of a course on fundamentals of electrical circuit analysis (TCIRC, ECE degree @ ISEP). This web app (available at http://osciloscopio.dee.isep.ipp.pt/) can operate in Simulation mode or Acquisition & Control...
Design, control, and testing of a multifunctional soft robotic Gripper
Correia, Ana; Charters De Azevedo, Tiago; Leite, Afonso; Campos, Francisco M.; Monge, Nuno; Rocha, André; Mendes, Mário J. G. C.This paper proposes a multifunctional soft robotic gripper for a Dobot robot to handle sensitive products. The gripper is based on pneumatic network (PneuNet) bending actuators. In this study, two different models of PneuNet actuators have been studied, designed, simulated, experimentally tested, and validated using two different techniques (3D printing and molding) and three different materials: FilaFlex 60A (...
A SNAPSHOT OF THE U=RISOLVE FRAMEWORK: SELF-LEARNING ELECTRIC CIRCUIT FUNDAMENT...
Rocha, André; Sousa, Lino; Alves, Mário; Pereira, FranciscoInnovative teaching and self-learning paradigms and tools have been emerging in the past decade, in a trend to boost motivation and autonomy in new generations of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) students. In this context, we have been leveraging the U=RIsolve framework (https://urisolve.pt/app/), which aims at providing an interactive portal for teaching/self-learning the fundamentals of electric circ...
Institutional relations and Multidimensionality in the semiarid region of Alago...
Júnior, José; Rocha, André; Silva, Valdemir; Santos, Denize; Costa, CarlosThe objective of the qualitative study is to describe the institutional relationship and themultidimensionality between State and Community in the semiarid region of Alagoas, based on teaching,research and extension. The sensitizing theoretical approach dealt with the themes: institutionalrelationship, to bring - horizontally - the State (three public education organizations) and the Community(family farmers); ...
Anestesiologia: Medos e mitos – um questionário populacional
Saraiva, Rita; Varandas, Joana; Soares, Adriana; Gomes, Ana Inês; Almeida, Ana Isabel; Sá Rocha, Ana; Rocha, André; Correia, Belmiro; Magalhães, CláudiaIntrodução: A ansiedade peri-operatória pode estar associada a aumento da morbi-mortalidade, dor e outras complicações. É assim de extrema importância identificar e prevenir os seus fatores em candidatos a cirurgia e anestesia. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar os principais medos e mitos relacionados com a anestesia e cirurgia na nossa população. Material e métodos: Auditoria prospetiva, em que foram...
FABSCHOOLS - Maker Education from Home
Rocha, André; Almeida, TiagoThe COVID-19 crisis couldn’t be more devastating to the educational school closures. UNESCO estimates that around March 2020, at the peak of the pandemic crisis, 1.5 billion learners were affected by more than ninety percent of schools being closed worldwide (www.unesco.org). More than ever, educational strategies need to be adapted and evolved. The Maker community reaction in terms of the PPE Crisis in Hospita...
O jogo como estratégia pedagógica de aprendizagem das escalas
Rocha, AndréNo âmbito da Prática de Ensino Supervisionada (PES), integrada no Mestrado em Ensino da Música do Instituto Superior de Estudos Interculturais e Transdisciplinares de Almada (ISEITA), realizou-se o presente documento que se encontra dividido em duas partes. A primeira parte - constituída por um Relatório Final de PES - tem o intuito de procurar descrever, de uma forma analítica e reflexiva, o trabalho desenvolv...
Active Flow Control using Dense Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks
Robles, Ramiro; Viana, Júlio; Loureiro, João; Cintra, João; Rocha, André; Tovar, EduardoThis paper describes the design of an active flow control (AFC) system for aeronautics applications based on dense wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs). The objective of this AFC system is to track gradients of pressure (or wall shear stress) across the surface of the fuselage of commercial aircraft. This collected information is used to activate a set of actuators that will attempt to reduce the skin ...
Importance of statistics for Data Mining and Data Science
Ribeiro, Vítor; Rocha, André; Peixoto, Rui; Portela, Filipe; Santos, ManuelKnowledge has been significantly recognized by managers as an important asset for organizations. This recognition stems from the fact that knowledge is increasingly used as a strategic resource to create competitive advantage, improve organizational processes, reduce costs, and more. Data Mining (DM) is an area of study that facilitates that process, allowing you to extract useful information and predictions fr...
