Identification of wavelengths from the visible spectrum by means of Arduino for the generation of a knowledge base managed by PROLOG

Abstract

PROLOG is a programming language widely used in the generation of expert and intelligent systems, generally limited to data that is entered directly by a user in the form of software, having little or no interaction with data that is captured directly from a physical environment. This paper presents an implementation of an interface that detects the wavelengths of the visible spectrum, that is, identifies colors, colors that are stored in a knowledge base and then managed by PROLOG. This interface consists of two parts, software and hardware. The hardware is designed by means of the Arduino UNO development board, where a TCS3200 sensor is used. For the development of the software, two tools have been used, on the one hand, the standard programming of the Arduino IDE terminal has been used to manage the inputs and outputs of the Arduino board, and on the other hand, a data management system has been generated, in which PROLOG manages all the data obtained from hardware. This scheme seeks to generate color classifications in a dynamic and intelligent way in the future. The proposed system has the advantage that it is highly economical, easy to perform, uses the logical paradigm of programming, and opens the way to the design of intelligent systems managed by PROLOG from a monitoring of physical variables.
