In 2015, the Ministry of Education (MEC)  created the Integrated Monitoring and Control System (SIMEC), an operational and management tool that shows the situation of education-related constructions under city hall management on their website. The city hall managers fill the information on the system. Therefore, we wonder if the constructions´ situation pointed out by Simec reflects their real conditions. The research aims to learn the real situation of constructions described on Simec using on-site survey, observation, photographic record, and, whenever possible, using mobile applications like "Tá de Pé" (It's on) from "Transparência Brasil" (NGO) or "Eu Fiscalizo" (I supervise) from Federal General Accounting Office (a.k.a TCU in Brazilian Portuguese acronym) to send the findings. We inspected nineteen construction sites in four cities in the State of Pará. The results indicate that the situation of most of them (11 of 19) does not correspond to the information filled by the public agents in Simec. The situation indicates an absence of internal controls in MEC during the supervision of the constructions sites. Thus, we want to raise awareness about the change that can be made in society by engaged and empowered actors of social control.

Analysis and formalization of the monitoring and automatic control tasks of the MR for the movement and execution of various types of technological operations on inclined and vertical ferromagnetic surfaces are obtained. Generalized structure of mobile robotic complex is shown with main subsystems consideration. Critical analysis of the current state of the problem of development of universal structures of mobile robots (MRs) for the various types of technological operations execution and elaborations of computerized systems for monitoring and control of MR movement is done. In particular, wheeled, walked and crawler type MRs with pneumatic, vacuum-propeller, magnetic and magnetically operated clamping devices to grip with vertical and ceiling surfaces are reviewed. The constructive features of the crawler MR with magnetic clamping devices capable of moving along sloping ferromagnetic surfaces are considered. The basic technical parameters of the MR are shown for the further synthesis of computerized monitoring and automatic control systems. Formalization of the tasks of monitoring and control of the MR positioning at the processing of large area ferromagnetic surfaces is considered from the point of view of control theory.

The article renders the special features of the design of a tracked mobile robot (MR) for moving over inclined ferromagnetic surfaces while performing specified technological operations. There is conducted a synthesis of the functional structure and selective technological parameters (such as control coordinates) of the computerized monitoring and control system (CMCS) intended for use with this MR. Application of the CMCS with the proposed functional structure allows substantially increasing the accuracy of the MR monitoring and control, which in turn provides for a considerable enhancement in the quality and economic efficiency of the operations on processing of large ferromagnetic surfaces.
