Students and technology lovers meet until Friday (30) in Santa Rita do Sapucai (MG). The meeting of the reason is the 34th edition of the Technology Fair Inatel (Fetin), which this year highlights 85 research projects focusing on quality of life. The opening ceremony took place on the afternoon of Wednesday (28). Among the highlights, the exchange of knowledge promoted among the exhibitors.
The German Frederik Sommerfeld traveled to the South of Minas Gerais with Professor Jens Werner just to participate in the fair. He worked for months on a free software project, a computer program that can be used for free, able to replace the traditional radio communication. “We use a modulation scheme, which requires no radio” he said.
But the Bolivian Mauricio Marcelo Peredo Claros bet on a robot that can be operated only by the gesture recognition to be in contact researched other Electronics Engineering area. “My project is to control a robotic arm via a camera that captures the movement of my arms,” shows.
experience exchange and knowledge
Sommerfeld knew the fair through the teacher, the Jade University in Germany. Clear student at Univalle, Bolivia, and had a friend who was at the fair in 2014. Both, like the other 22 students foreign participants of the meeting, took an interest in exposing projects as an opportunity to exchange experiences.
“We expose here and we exchange culture, other languages, other knowledge,” says Claros. To Sommerfeld, it is a great opportunity. “You know other cultures and people with whom you can work in the future,” predicts the German.
At the fair
The visit at the fair is free. And who goes through the stands is not only a chance to check the direction they are taking the studies in technology. Much of what is there, presented by students, can become the new sensation of the market in the coming years.
“Inside the Fetin, there are projects that are already hatched,” says Professor Wanderson Saldanha, coordinator event. “There are already existing companies within the institution and must follow the path of several others that were on the market. Our focus is the professional development of it, but we see in the projects, rather than a market issue, the focus is on being human, improving quality of life, “he says.
Prostheses, systems that assist in the rehabilitation of physical therapy patients, better use of water resources, energy efficiency. Among the projects developed voluntarily since February for about 300 students for applications and multiple-use equipment.
Making Life Easier
The Neuro Carpet Test can facilitate the diagnosis of a type of dementia that treated may be reversible. The Fisioglove is a glove with electrodes that helps in electrotherapy sessions. These are some of the local projects which now form part of the knowledge exported by Brazil.
“Today the technology is global. You will hardly find a type of technology that is restricted to a part of the world. But the we just spreading is a different way of thinking to solve the same problem, “explains the coordinator of the Center for Internships and Professional Services Inatel, Bruno de Oliveira Monteiro.
The Fetin continues on Thursday (29 ) at the headquarters of Inatel, from 15h to 22h. On Friday, the meeting will from 15h to 21h.
