current research projects

• • UFRBots Team: UFRB Robot Football Team. The objective of this project is to carry out a study of the main techniques employed in the robot soccer project, with a view to developing a robot soccer team to work in the categories RoboCup Soccer Simulation 2D and Very Small Size.

    • From 2019, financed by UFRB.

  • Robot Colony: Construction of a Colony of Autonomous Robots for Recognition, Search and Inspection. The project aims to develop a robot colony based on artificial intelligence algorithms and multi-sensing systems to perform search, recognition, and inspection in an unstructured environment. 

    • From 2008, financed by SECTI-BA & UEFS & UFRB.

past research projects

• • ReConfig: Hardware Accelerators for Reconfigurable Devices.  This project aims to explore the functionalities and resources of reconfigurable devices (FPGA), targeting the design of specific-purpose hardware accelerators.

    • From 2017 to 2020, financed by UFRB.

  • Architecture Development for FPGA Acceleration of High Performance Computing applied to Seismic Imaging. The development of this research aimed deliver a prototype of a FPGA architecture, optimized and applied to the 2D Reverse Time Migration workflow.

    • From 2017 to 2019, financed by EMBRAPII & Shell.

  • Analysis of the Implementation of the Problem-Based Learning Methodology in Computer Engineering course of UEFS. This research project aims to analyze the positive and negative aspects of PBL, the impact of such methodology over the students' soft skills and in the pedagogical practice of the professors, through quantitative and qualitative evaluation mechanisms. 

    • From 2015 to 2018, financed by UEFS.

past extension projects

• • UFRBots Arduino: An extensionist vision for teaching microcontroller systems. This extension-program project aims to increase the interest in STEM through teaching microcontroled systems (programming and digital circuits), and by using online platforms for Arduino developement.

  • UFRBots: An extensionist vision for the Robot Soccer at Recôncavo da Bahia.  This extension program project aims to stimulate the interest in exact sciences through Robot Soccer.
