🔊 ECHO_ENGINE — Sound Inclusion with AI
The ECHO_ENGINE is an open-source project created by Sandra Bati Furquim to support autistic children with auditory sensitivity. Using sensors and artificial intelligence, the system monitors noises in real time and provides visual and auditory feedback to reduce sensory overloads.
🎯 Purpose
Created with a focus on inclusion, the project helps make school environments more accessible, assists educators in identifying sound triggers, and promotes child autonomy.
🧠 Technologies
- TensorFlow / Edge Impulse: AI for sound pattern recognition
- IoT + FreeRTOS: Remote monitoring and quick response
- HTML / JavaScript / SSE: Lightweight and accessible web interface
🔧 Hardware
- ESP32 / ESP8266: Microcontrollers with Wi-Fi
- RP2040 / Arduino Nano BLE Sense / STM32: Versatile and efficient
The source code is available on GitHub, allowing developers and researchers to contribute, customize, and expand the project for different contexts.
