Manaus, the capital of Brazilian Amazon state demands a rapid increase in the number of highly qualified professionals, mostly for its Industrial Pole. Hardware and software development for the consumer electronics and telecommunication sectors are the most challenging areas, due to the amount of open positions contrasting with the quality of local educational Institutions. To address this issue a...
Manaus, the capital city of the state of Amazonas and the sixth Brazilian largest gross domestic product, demands highly qualified hardware and software developers for consumer electronics and telecommunication sectors of its free trading zone. However, what can be viewed as an opportunity for the youth alumni of local institutions of higher education contrasts with the low level of qualification...
Brazil is experiencing economic growth, with a strong demand for highly qualified professionals. In the capital of the Brazilian state of Amazonas, Manaus, the situation is critical. The lack of professionals is considered a major risk, and to prepare students is a real challenge as there are few undergraduate courses, and the typical dropout rate is very high. STEM education is intricately difficult...
This paper aims the estimation of the robots motion angles through a linear fusion of two visuals information: Horizon Line position and orientation, and Image Optical Flow. The need of integration of movement estimation techniques is due to the fact that the angles estimation using Horizon information is used with efficiency in several works about aerial robots odometry, but this approach does not...
Researchers have been spending a lot of effort in increasing the level of autonomy of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs). There is a sort of important scenarios where an autonomous drone would be very effective. One of these scenarios of applications is the long term monitoring of the Amazon rain forest. The uniform pattern of the canopy defines a mission difficult to be performed by a human operator...
Field application of unmanned aerials systems (UASs) have increased in the last decade, with special focus on missions in which there is any kind of risk for the crew. However, in some situations the lack of onboard pilots makes the mission execution a very difficult task. As an example one has long endurance missions over rain forest, and glacial areas, due to the uniform patterns. In this scenario...
