TL;DR: A reference framework that allows the fast development of robotic projects based on Arduino is presented, which was used for developing several projects that solve multidisciplinary and real-life problems and was used regardless of the students’ expertise level in robotics.
Abstract: There has been a shift in the Higher Education model, especially at the university level, where distance education and remote laboratories for teaching and training have been incorporated. On the other hand, popular interest in robotics, as well as research around this technology, have increased in the last years. In this sense, Arduino is a platform that helps teachers and students to develop robotics-based solutions without a great investment, since its use does not require special robotics labs. Considering these facts, in this work, we present a reference framework that allows the fast development of robotic projects based on Arduino. This framework was used for developing several projects that solve multidisciplinary and real-life problems. Furthermore, this framework was used regardless the students’ expertise level in robotics. Considering the students’ opinions about the use of the framework, we noted that it helped students to provide solutions for a wide range of problems based on a critical thinking approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, all the logical architecture was developed in free hardware and software, open-source, with a very low cost in the market to comply with the implementation of this research.
Abstract: To comply with the implementation of this research, all the logical architecture was developed in free hardware and software, open-source, with a very low cost in the market. By using the Arduino microcontroller board, the sensors of ambient temperature, ambient humidity, toxic gases, soil moisture, food level, and water level were implemented. The Raspberry Pi4 minicomputer was also used as hardware so that the poultry keeper could upload the daily records of the poultry house and thus visualize all the environmental information of the poultry house in the developed web system. The validation of the results was focused on the costs and automation of decision making by the poultry managers, taking as a comparison the commercial systems used by large national and international poultry farms.

TL;DR: The objective of this paper is to offer an overview of the IoT applications in agriculture through topics such IoT-based software applications for agriculture available in the market, IoT- based devices used in the agriculture, as well as the benefits provided by this kind of technologies.
Abstract: The digital breach between agricultural producers and IoT technologies has reduced in the last years. In the future, these technologies will allow improving productivity through the sustainable cultivation of food, as well as to take care of the environment thanks to the efficient use of water and the optimization of inputs and treatments. IoT technologies allow developing systems that support different agricultural processes. Some of these systems are remote monitoring systems, decision support tools, automated irrigation systems, frost protection systems, and fertilization systems, among others. Considering the aforementioned facts, it is necessary to provide farmers and researchers with a clear perspective of IoT applications in agriculture. In this sense, this work presents a systematic literature review of IoT-based tools and applications for agriculture. The objective of this paper is to offer an overview of the IoT applications in agriculture through topics such IoT-based software applications for agriculture available in the market, IoT-based devices used in the agriculture, as well as the benefits provided by this kind of technologies.

TL;DR: A case study of the implementation of a monitoring system for lettuce cultivation in an NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) hydroponic system whose objective is to improve the quality and quantity of food is presented in this paper.
Abstract: Agriculture is an activity that is an essential part of the world economy. Due to climate change and the need for food self-sufficiency, innovative solutions to improve production conditions are needed. Hydroponics is an alternative for food self-sufficiency because it allows increasing the yield, growth, quality of different crops. In this sense, there are works focused on the automation of hydroponic systems to monitor the environment and control the nutrient solution for the optimal development of plants. However, in Ecuador, there are no reports of monitoring systems for hydroponic systems that allow reducing the losses of plants in crops. This document describes a case study of the implementation of a monitoring system for lettuce cultivation in an NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) hydroponic system whose objective is to improve the quality and quantity of food. This system provides a mobile application that allows monitoring control variables to take corrective actions and regulate different environmental factors. The system was evaluated in a real scenario obtaining more precise values than traditional methods.

TL;DR: This work presents a case study where a water monitoring system was implemented in a shrimp culture pond of the CAMASIG S.A. company and its effectiveness was evaluated in terms of the size, weight, and the percentage of survival of the shrimp achieved when the shrimpculture pond is monitored by this system.
Abstract: In 2016, Ecuador produced 368,181 tons of shrimp Penaeus vannamei and ex-ported 370,780 tons corresponding to $ 2.58 billion, according to ProEcuador (Institute for Export and Investment Promotion). The shrimp exportation represented 22.76% of the country’s non-oil exports. The Ecuadorian shrimp industry invests in technology focused on improving the production of shrimp and the quality of the postlarvae aiming to avoid falls in production, high mortality rates and disparity in the size of shrimp. However, it is necessary that this industry adopts innovative technologies that allow it to improve the quality and production of its products. In this sense, this work presents a case study where a water monitoring system was implemented in a shrimp culture pond of the CAMASIG S.A. company. This system integrates technologies such as Cloud computing, Arduino-based devices, and mobile applications that allow users to remotely monitor a shrimp culture pond, as well as to receive alerts when an out-of-range water parameter (pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen) is detected. This last module consists of a set of sensors that allows collecting data about the pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen in the water. This system was evaluated to test its effectiveness in terms of the size, weight, and the percentage of survival of the shrimp achieved when the shrimp culture pond is monitored by this system.

TL;DR: The authors present a propuesta educativa que se esta desarrollando como parte de un Proyecto Academico dentro del Nivel Medio Superior correspondiente a la institucion que pertenezco.
Abstract: El siguiente material presenta una propuesta educativa que se esta desarrollando como parte de un Proyecto Academico dentro del Nivel Medio Superior correspondiente a la institucion que pertenezco. Es una propuesta que tiene por objetivo acercar las tecnologias de la informacion y comunicacion al alumnado, tocando temas que van desde el medio fisico (hardware) hasta el logistico (software de programacion), sin necesidad de acentuar en conocimientos demasiado tecnificados ya que se trata de un acercamiento parcial, lo que no significa escueto, sino significativo para el proceso ensenanza-aprendizaje y que permitira al estudiante la oportunidad de acercarse al mundo digital, en un hecho que puede ampliar sus expectativas con la ciencia, al estar en contacto e interaccion con el mundo tecnologico que lo rodea a traves de una “practica de campo” . El marco de desarrollo se ubica en una dimension adecuada a los tiempos y conocimientos previos, teniendo en cuenta el nivel educativo donde se desenvuelve nuestro alumnado, ya que no se tiene un enfoque “tecnico” en un bachillerato bivalente, sin embargo, esta situacion puede ser solventada con elementos pedagogicos adecuados y materiales didactico ad hoc, que no implique instrumentacion o inmueble especializado y que sean de facil acceso, es por ello que se propone el uso de la placa electronica Arduino y el software Inventor, para elaborar una practica simple que toca al mundo del hardware, el software y la web.
