Sistema sem fio para medição em tempo real de variáveis cinemáticas

Abstract

The measurement of a system movement state is usefull for many fields of the Science, namely Mechanics, Engineering and Medicine. This project aimed at developing an acceleration telemetry system called Monitor de Atividade Motora (Motor Activity Monitor), consisting in a set of small sensors embedding a MEMS accelerometer and a Bluetooth radio module. Using a computer software, user is able to visualize charts of the real time acquired data. The Motor Activity Monitor has been succesfully used for acquiring data for the study of the movement of an elevator, for the study of a human tremor known as physiologic tremor and for the study of the impact caused by a drilling machine on the worker body. The electronic project of the sensors grants the possibility of assembling another metering component for future improvements of the system.
