Carbon dioxide (CO) is considered one of the main greenhouse effect gases and contributes significantly to global climate change. In Brazil, the agricultural areas offer an opportunity to mitigate this effect, especially with the sugarcane crop, sinc...
Particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM) is a complex mixture of chemical constituents emitted from various emission sources or through secondary reactions/processes; however, PM is regulated mostly based on its total mass c...
The development of robotic sensors that mimic the human sensing capabilities is critical for the interaction and cognitive abilities of modern robots. Though robotic skin with embedded pressure or temperature sensors has received recent attention, ro...
