lnnovation management has different approaches for implementation. depending on the type of company and industry in which it is applied. In spite of existing organizational models for innovation management in companies and ...
The work of Robert Delaunay and particularly his Eiffel Tower paintings are recognized as an essential symbol of modern art. However, their precise assessment by historians varies and there are aspects of these works that ...
One of the main challenges in Robotics is to develop robots that can interact with humans in a natural way, sharing the same dynamic and unstructured environments. Such an interaction may be aimed at assisting, helping or ...
This doctoral thesis deals with the use of the robot redundancy to execute several tasks simultaneously at different levels of priority and its application to two different robotic systems. In particular, new uses of the ...
(Eng) In this work we study various mathematical problems arising from the robotic manipulation of cloth. First, we develop a locking-free continuous model for the physical simulation of inextensible textiles. We present ...
This thesis is devoted to present some novel techniques in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). SHM is a developing field that tries to monitor structures to make sure that they remain in their desired condition to avoid ...
Navigation and location technologies have been reaching in a major interest where Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is mostly adopted. The limitation of this technology is that direct sky view is needed for reliable ...
This thesis focuses on the interactive simulation of highly detailed deformable solids modelled with the Corotational Finite Element Method. Starting from continuum mechanics we derive the discrete equations of motion and ...
This PhD thesis presents a methodology to detect, estimate and localize water leaks (with the main focus in the localization problem) in water distribution networks using hydraulic models and machine learning techniques. ...
Robust, reliable and safe navigation is one of the fundamental problems of robotics. Throughout the present thesis, we tackle the problem of navigation for robotic industrial mobile-bases. We identify its components and ...
Esta tesis aborda el desarrollo de nuevas técnicas de análisis robusto de imágenes estrechamente relacionadas con el comportamiento del sistema visual humano. Uno de los pilares de la tesis es la votación tensorial, una ...
Aquesta tesi doctoral mostra la recerca feta en l'àrea de la diarització de locutor per a sales de reunions. En la present s'estudien els algorismes i la implementació d'un sistema en diferit de segmentació i aglomerat de ...
This thesis presents the results of applying a statistical hybrid approach for structural health monitoring using piezo actuating signals. Where, by combining statistical processing based on Principal Component Analysis ...
Nowadays large part of the time needed to perform a numerical simulation is spent in preprocessing, especially in the geometry cleaning operations and mesh generation. Furthermore, these operations are not easy to automatize ...
The present thesis aims at the analysis of the fragmentation of rockfalls. The fragmentation is a complex phenomenon poorly understood with a lack of tools to reproduce it on rockfall simulators. The effect of fragmentation ...
Retail is changing as technology is growing. The traditional way of shopping has evolved thanks to mobile devices, and retailers are struggling to avoid customers’ attrition. Customers are immersed in a seamless omnichannel ...
The global environmental change affects rural communities in an unprecedented way and brings transformations in the livelihoods in rural households. Rural households have a growing vulnerability to climate and non-climate ...
This thesis aims to assess the effects of the complex mixture of organic pollutants on the Prochlorococcus photosynthetic capability, in field, and at sublethal level, in the multifactorial context of the global change. ...
The most widely accepted option for the long-term management of radioactive waste materials considers their disposal in deep underground facilities (examples are Finland, Belgium, France, Sweden, etc.). Such installations ...
In recent years transport policy at an European Level has been focused on reducing the share of road transportation and promote alternative transportation means in order to reduce road congestion and carbon footprint. One ...
