Embedded Systems Competition (ESC) 2020 

The Brazilian Embedded Systems Competition (ESC) is a competition open to undergraduate and graduate students to develop and present an innovative solution of embedded technology for market applications The competition provides the opportunity for students to create intelligent and creative systems aiming to solve many different problems shared by their community and contribute to the evolution of this segment of computing in Brazil. The focus is the development of Embedded Systems for IoT in different subareas of application.

This year the competition adopts a new format of open platform. That means, every team is free to choose the hardware/software platform that best fits its proposed project.

The competition is organized in two steps:

  • First, the teams should proceed with the early development of their projects in order to perform the Project Submission. The Project Submission Form template is linked below and should contain as much as possible technical information about the Project, as well as information regarding the current status of development and schedule for completion. A Video presentation is also required. The deadline for this step is August 28th September 13th September 20th (FIRM DEADLINE).
  • Second, the submitted Projects will be judged and the best ones will be qualified for the finals.
