This project is about an analysis of the behavior of GNSS systems for its possible inclusion in applications related to mechatronics. To carry out this research, only open-source programs, mobile phones and low-cost portable receivers will be used. With this approach, citizens can have powerful tools to collect data and generate information without depending on external sensors. This procedure, called citizen sensing, gives citizens information about the quality of their living environment. By using this innovative method, the possibilities of introducing GNSS technology in mechatronic systems can increase due to the data collection with solutions that are already in use by most of the population (like mobile phones).
