Automation home: automation adaptation project in house manaus for disabled people with locomotion difficulty.

Abstract: 

Freedom is an attribute that governs the life of society, since it allows displacement, autonomy and, the principle of coming and going, which becomes such a simple condition to exercise, when you are not physically disabled. The streets, the houses, the bus stops, the ramps of the sidewalks, in short, the places themselves are, for the most part, gigantic obstacles for a physically disabled person in Brazilian cities, which has had a special attention from the authorities in recent years, and such places have been gaining important signs and adaptations for social inclusion, allowing the mixing of possibilities, and the insertion of the physically disabled into places that would previously have been unimaginable. For a private sector, such as a house, where the principle of mobility accentuates the difficulties of autonomy, in the case of a traumatic resident with impaired leg movements, whose mobility happens in a limited way and, based on studies that highlight the robotics applied to automation of homes, adapting them for the mobility of residents, or even focused on comfort, this article addresses the automation of a sector of a residence in the city of Manaus, whose resident had mobility difficulties, even having access to a wheelchair , their mobility in the residence was extremely limited. The proposal presented highlights the automation of an elevator to interconnect the floors of the house, as it is a two-storey residence, the spiral stairs did not allow the disabled access to the second floor, leaving them vulnerable and confined to a room and when it had to be moved, it would have to be carried and so with great difficulty. In order to carry out the study, the engineering methodology was used, aimed at solving the problem by producing an action protocol that uses automation to adapt the residence and the mobility condition of the resident. For this purpose, a survey of the home automation properties was carried out. criteria of health and well-being of the patient, as well as the adaptable characteristics of the residence for locomotion independently. What is expected with this study is to value the principles of automation to facilitate the movement of a resident within his own residence, thus facilitating his access with autonomy and a certain degree of freedom.
