Abstract:
Programming embedded systems for automatic door opening and closing control involves integrating hardware and software to create responsive, efficient, and reliable systems. Embedded systems are small computers embedded in circuit devices or electronic boards, often using sensors (i.e. infrared), actuators and microcontrollers to detect the presence of objects in front of doors to determine when the doors should open or close. The sensors detect the presence of people or objects, while the on-board system processes this data and sends signals from the commands to the actuators that control the movement of the doors. Key aspects include real-time performance, as doors need to react quickly when they detect objects through sensors, as well as energy efficiency, security, and durability. Programmers must use low-level languages like C or assembler to ensure the system runs efficiently in real-time with minimal delays. Modern systems can also incorporate advanced technologies like the Internet of Things for remote control and data monitoring, improving flexibility and system management. Key challenges include system safety, reliability under various environmental conditions, and maintaining consistent performance over time.
