Desenvolvimento de um sistema de controlo de variáveis físicas em incubadoras neonatais com recurso a tecnologia Fuzzy

Abstract

The present work proposes the development of a system for controlling physical variables in neonatal incubators using fuzzy technology. The main objective is to optimize the control of temperature and humidity inside the incubator, ensuring an adequate environment for the newborn. The system uses fuzzy logic to handle the imprecision and variability of the parameters, providing continuous and smooth adjustments, in contrast to traditional control systems based on fixed thresholds. Fuzzy control allows the definition of rules based on human knowledge and experience. The system was developed based on fuzzy control mathematical models, implemented on a computational platform, and evaluated in simulated scenarios of incubator operation. The results show that the fuzzy system significantly improves the stability of the controlled environment, maintaining temperature and humidity within desired levels, even in situations of external condition variation. This study contributes to the field of hospital automation, providing an efficient and adaptive alternative for controlling critical variables in neonatal incubators.
