Currently, the number of vehicles in circulation continues to increase steadily, leading to a parallel increase in vehicular accidents. Among the many causes of these accidents, human factors such as driver drowsiness play a fundamental role. In this context, one solution to address the challenge of drowsiness detection is to anticipate drowsiness by alerting drivers in a timely and effective manner.

To understand the environmental dynamics of these regions, comprehensive analyses of lakes across spatial and temporal scales are necessary. While remote sensing offers a powerful tool for lake monitoring, applications in high-mountain terrain present unique challenges.

This paper presents a fuzzy controller to manipulate the movement of a 3D robotic mechanism of the lumbar spine, which is driven by tendons. The controller was implemented in Matlab/Simulink R2023a software, MathWorks (Brazil), considering mathematical modeling based on the Lagrangian methodology for simulating the behavior of the lumbar spine dynamic movement.
